Oh, above is confusing. Sorry.

I mean one RT task and

----------------- time -------------------------->
|DL's working |RT's working| |DL's working |
--------------------------------------------------
| |rt_runtime | | |
--------------------------------------------------
| | rt_period | |

In this case FAIR receives less ratio, than (rt_period-rt_runtime)/rt_period.
