don't tell me what theory. don't be so doctrinairism! OK?
If cpu is free and there is a running state task,how can you scdedule
idle task up?
I tell you again:we are not talking about a bandwidth of 100% for RT!
Bug lies in the bandwidth of (100- X)%.(X<100)
even in the time of 100-X,if there is a rt task, you should not idle()
the system.
