    I'm not sure if I understand you correctly, but how is this related to
    preempt? A SCHED_FIFO tasks only delays SCHED_OTHER tasks, but it doesn't
    consume their time slice, so the remaining tasks still get their
    (previously assigned) time at the cpu, until all tasks have consumed
    their share.

    bye, Roman
