Hi,

Thanks for spotting this.

This is not a problem in theory, however 'entity->service' should always
be 0 for root_group. Thus I think there is no need to do this.

Yes, currently for_each_entity() and for_each_entity_not_root() are the
same, they will stop before root_group.

With patch 5, for_each_entity_not_root() will stay the same, while
for_each_entity() will access root_group's entity in addition. And
because bfq_entity_service_tree() will access 'entity->sched_data', thus
I change to the new api here to avoid null-ptr-deref after patch 5.

Same reasons for below changes.

Thanks,
