11This is a per-task sample monitor, with the following
12definition::

16               v

18  +--------- |             |

29This model is broken, the reason is that a task can be running
30in the processor without being set as RUNNABLE. Think about a
31task about to sleep::
32
33  1:      set_current_state(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);
34  2:      schedule();
35
36And then imagine an IRQ happening in between the lines one and two,
37waking the task up. BOOM, the wakeup will happen while the task is
38running.

40- Why do we need this model, so?
41- To test the reactors.
