Hi Dominik,
Yes, the decision about RT and trylocks is still undecided, and I'm actually trying to get the existing design into as optimal shape as possible before considering deferring it, so we can really have a complete comparison. It was an error (my error) to introduce the full lock here in the original patch that added this. So I've actually made this patch into a fixup for that original one, so we don't need this one on top.
I'll be looking at the deferred work next week, but I'd like the existing thing to be as solid as possible before. Otherwise it's too hard to evaluate pros and cons.
Jason
