I can switch to the for() loop model, but it isn't 'done' flag, it's a
'retry' flag. I.e. if xfs_break_leased_layouts() dropped
XFS_MMAPLOCK_EXCL we need to retry xfs_break_dax_layouts(), and if
xfs_break_dax_layouts() slept we need to immediately retry it. So, how
about this?

for (;;) {
switch (reason) {
case BREAK_UNMAP:
ASSERT(xfs_isilocked(XFS_I(inode), XFS_MMAPLOCK_EXCL));

error = xfs_break_dax_layouts(inode, *iolock, &retry);
if (error)
return error;
if (retry)
continue;
/* fall through */
case BREAK_WRITE:
error = xfs_break_leased_layouts(inode, iolock, &retry);
if (error || !retry)
return error;
continue;
default:
WARN_ON_ONCE(1);
return -EINVAL;
}
}
