The latest ret value is updated by kvm_riscv_vcpu_aia_update(),
the loop will continue if the ret is less than or equal to zero.
So the later condition will never hit. Thus remove it.

Good catch. There's another potential optimization to be done a little above
this change:


	while (ret > 0) {
		(...)

		/* Update AIA HW state before entering guest */
		ret = kvm_riscv_vcpu_aia_update(vcpu);
		if (ret <= 0) {
			preempt_enable();
			continue; <------------------
		}
		(...)

Note that this 'continue' isn't doing much - we'll restart the loop with ret <= 0
while requiring ret > 0 to do another iteration. I.e. this 'continue' can be
replaced for 'break' without compromising the logic.

(of course, testing it to be sure is always advised :D )

Yes, you are right. The 'continue' could be replaced by a 'break'.
I also find another small point:

		ret = 1;

		(...)

		/* Update AIA HW state before entering guest */
		ret = kvm_riscv_vcpu_aia_update(vcpu);

the assignment 'ret = 1' is somehow redundant, since it will be
overwritten before any reference.

Queued this patch for Linux-6.8
