Today I increased HZ in a current kernel to 1000 when adding dummynet.
Now I find that nanosleep regularly comes back a little early.
Can anyone explain why?

I would have expected that the *overrun* beyond the required time to vary,
but never that it would come back early.

    if (abstime.tv_usec >= 1000000) {
        abstime.tv_sec  += 1;
