That looks right to me...

I would say it is. That's what you get because of putting task1 and
cgroup at the same level in the "hierarchy". I'm curious, what kind of
behaviour were you expecting?

Of course, the actual schedule also depends on the real-time priority of
the various tasks (groups don't have a priority, they inherit it from
their tasks, or at least it was like this when I used to work with
it :-P), but I guess you're putting all the tasks in the same queue
(i.e., same rt-prio), is it that the case?
