Thank you for explanation about userspace rt priority's range like
sched_setscheduler(2).

Processes scheduled with SCHED_OTHER (or SCHED_BATCH) must be assigned
the static priority 0.  Processes scheduled under SCHED_FIFO (or
SCHED_RR) can have a static priority in the range 1 to 99.

So, I think that the below summary is right.
* Kernel Space priority: 0(high) to 99(low) --> User Space RT priority
99(high) to 0(low)

Is it incorrect?
