So the 'ring boundary' part still doesn't parse (neither grammatically nor
logically) - please rephrase it because I have no idea what you want to say here.

Did you want to say:

> ... time sampling became jiffy based, even if it's still being context tracked,
> so steal_account_process_tick() is reused to account how many 'ticks' are
> stolen-time, after the last accumulation.

... which makes sense grammatically but does not make sense to me logically. :-/

Rik, Frederic, could you please help out?

Thanks,

Ingo
