+ * shares assigned to a task group governs how much of cpu bandwidth

+ * the cpu bandwidth allocated to it.
+ *
+ * For ex, lets say that there are three task groups, A, B and C which
+ * have been assigned shares 1000, 2000 and 3000 respectively. Then,
+ * cpu bandwidth allocated by the scheduler to task groups A, B and C
+ * should be:
+ *
+ * Bw(A) = 1000/(1000+2000+3000) * 100 = 16.66%
+ * Bw(B) = 2000/(1000+2000+3000) * 100 = 33.33%
+ * Bw(C) = 3000/(1000+2000+3000) * 100 = 50%
+ *
+ * The weight assigned to a task group's schedulable entities on every
+ * cpu (task_group.se[a_cpu]->load.weight) is derived from the task
+ * group's shares. For ex: lets say that task group A has been
+ * assigned shares of 1000 and there are two CPUs in a system. Then,
+ *
+ * tg_A->se[0]->load.weight = tg_A->se[1]->load.weight = 1000;
+ *
+ * Note: It's not necessary that each of a task's group schedulable
+ * entity have the same weight on all CPUs. If the group
+ * has 2 of its tasks on CPU0 and 1 task on CPU1, then a
+ * better distribution of weight could be:
+ *
+ * tg_A->se[0]->load.weight = 2/3 * 2000 = 1333
+ * tg_A->se[1]->load.weight = 1/2 * 2000 = 667
+ *
+ * rebalance_shares() is responsible for distributing the shares of a
+ * task groups like this among the group's schedulable entities across
+ * cpus.
