Please ignore the post.
I should have looked into the code before posting the query. It looks
like the bonus/penalty is only for non-realtime tasks.
2101static int effective_prio(struct task_struct *p)
2102{
2103 p->normal_prio = normal_prio(p);
2104 /*
2105 * If we are RT tasks or we were boosted to RT priority,
2106 * keep the priority unchanged. Otherwise, update priority
2107 * to the normal priority:
2108 */
2109 if (!rt_prio(p->prio))
2110 return p->normal_prio;
2111 return p->prio;
2112}
2113
