I can reproduce this every single time when deleting large files from ext3 partitions as well as ext4. I have too noticed that it is easier to reproduce when the working partition is low on free space. In my case though when reviewing the log files each soft lockup instance has lines in common relating to 'eCryptfs'. My other kernels 2.6.29.6 and 2.6.30.5 do not have this problem.
