Like explained, shares control the proportional distribution of time
between groups, bandwidth puts a limit on how much time a group can
take. It can cause a group to receive less than its fair share, but
never more.

There is, however, a problem with all this, and that is that all this
explicit idling of tasks can lead to a form of priority inversion.
Regular preemptive scheduling already suffers from this, but explicitly
idling tasks exacerbates the situation.

You basically get to add the longest induced idle time to all your lock
hold times.
