charset="utf-8" From: Zecheng Li Now that struct sched_entity is co-located with struct cfs_rq for non-root task groups, the task_group->se pointer array is redundant. The associated sched_entity can be loaded directly from the cfs_rq. This patch performs the access conversion with the helpers: - is_root_task_group(tg): checks if a task group is the root task group. It compares the task group's address with the global root_task_group variable. - tg_se(tg, cpu): retrieves the cfs_rq and returns the address of the co-located se. This function checks if tg is the root task group to ensure behaving the same of previous tg->se[cpu]. Replaces all accesses that use the tg->se[cpu] pointer array with calls to the new tg_se(tg, cpu) accessor. - cfs_rq_se(cfs_rq): simplifies access paths like cfs_rq->tg->se[...] to use the co-located sched_entity. This function also checks if tg is the root task group to ensure same behavior. Since tg_se is not in very hot code paths, and the branch is a register comparison with an immediate value (`&root_task_group`), the performance impact is expected to be negligible.
