I agree that there are other ways to get max latency.
I think that with delayacct we can easily get delay statistics
which each task or task-group encountered in their life time
because delayacct records "per-task" delay.
But I just may not know better tools/functions.
Do you think which tools/functions is the best one (to extend)?
ftrace? perf?
