Subject: ext3/ext4 and waiting in do_get_write_access

Hi,

I've two types of process: 15 RT small writers (2 page writers) and 3
hard writers. When I start hard writers RT processes start thrashing
in do_get_write_access (waiting can be about 3-6s, but in normal
situation it's expected to make writes in 50-100ms).
I see the place, where we wait in do_get_write_access(). Are there
anything to do with this problem, so I don't get problems with
realtime processes? At least theoretically (I'm unfamiliar with
journaling)?
