 Cgroups can be guaranteed a minimum number of "CPU shares"
 when a system is busy.
 This does not limit a cgroup's CPU usage if the CPUs are not busy.
+For further information, see
+.IR Documentation/scheduler/sched-design-CFS.txt .
 
+In Linux 3.2,
+this controller was extended to provide CPU "bandwidth" control.
+If the kernel is configured with
+.BR COONFIG_CFS_BANDWIDTH ,
+then within each scheduling period
+(defined via a file in the cgroup directory), it is possible to define
+an upper limit on the CPU time allocated to the processes in a cgroup.
+This upper limit applies even if there is no other competition for the CPU.
