Great.
I have only one concern, regarding variable naming:
group_target_lat is a bit misleading. The fact is that it will be
larger for higher weight groups, so people could ask why are you
giving more latency to higher weight group...
Actually, it is the group share of the scheduling round, so you should
name it accordingly.
