Hmm. But it might certainly have run for a _total_ of 950ms. Since
that's just under a second, we wouldn't see it in the "ps" output.
Where is rt_time cleared? I see that subtract in
do_sched_rt_period_timer(), but judging by the caller that is only
called for some timer overrun case (I didn't look at what the
definition of such an overrun is, though). Shouldn't rt_time be
cleared when the task goes to sleep voluntarily?
What am I missing?
