No this simply cannot be true.. You force groups to sleep so that other
groups can run, right? Therefore shared kernel locks will cause
inversion.

You cannot put both groups to sleep and still expect a utilization of
100%.

Simple example, some task in group A owns the i_mutex of a file, group A
runs out of time and gets dequeued. Some other task in group B needs
that same i_mutex.

What moron ever calls yield anyway? If you use yield you're doing it
wrong!
