[PATCH 1/5] cgroup: Inline cgroup_has_tasks() in cgroup.h

From: Tejun Heo

Date: Mon May 04 2026 - 20:51:51 EST


cpuset reads cs->css.cgroup->nr_populated_csets directly in two places to
test whether a cgroup has tasks. cgroup.c already has a matching helper,
cgroup_has_tasks(). Move it to cgroup.h as static inline and use that
instead. This is to prepare for relocation of cgroup->nr_populated_csets. No
semantic change.
