[PATCH] LoongArch: KVM: remove unused returns.
Posted by cuitao 5 months ago 
The default branch has already handled all undefined cases,
so the final return statement is redundant.

In my opinion, there is only one case, no need to use switch case,
the ";" at the end can be removed, the code can be like this:

static long kvm_save_notify(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu)
{
         unsigned long id, data;

         id   = kvm_read_reg(vcpu, LOONGARCH_GPR_A1);
         data = kvm_read_reg(vcpu, LOONGARCH_GPR_A2);
         if (id == BIT(KVM_FEATURE_STEAL_TIME)) {
                 if (data & ~(KVM_STEAL_PHYS_MASK | KVM_STEAL_PHYS_VALID))
                         return KVM_HCALL_INVALID_PARAMETER;

                 vcpu->arch.st.guest_addr = data;
                 if (!(data & KVM_STEAL_PHYS_VALID))
                         return 0;

                 vcpu->arch.st.last_steal = current->sched_info.run_delay;
                 kvm_make_request(KVM_REQ_STEAL_UPDATE, vcpu);
                 return 0;
         }

         return KVM_HCALL_INVALID_CODE;
}

The following is the diff:

Thanks for the review.

My initial idea was to remove the switch-case structure. 
However, after checking the case value KVM_FEATURE_STEAL_TIME, 
I found there are 13 parallel definitions—and it is unclear when 
this part of the development will be completed later. Therefore, 
I temporarily retained the switch-case structure. 

Now, I have updated the patch according to your suggestion:
- Replaced `switch` with `if` since there is only one case.
- Removed the redundant semicolon after the block.

Please see the updated patch below.

Thanks,
Tiezhu

It has been applied, don't make useless effort.

I think that it is unnecessary to replace `switch` with `if` here:)

One thing is that the change is big for such thing, and also there may 
be new case condition in future, just maybe.
