IMO a deadlock is higher priority than a big latency :-)

I still belive that something to do with the locking in ext3 has to do
with your latencies, but I'll take you off when I send something to Andrew
or Ingo next time. Hopefully, they'll do the same.

When this problem is solved on Ingo's side, maybe this will solve your
latency problem, so I recommend that you keep trying the latest RT
kernels. BTW what test are you running that causes these latencies?
