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?
