Nitpick: I think did_unlock should probably be called done in this context,
and how about something like this:
for (;;) {
switch (reason) {
case BREAK_UNMAPI:
error = xfs_break_dax_layouts(inode, *iolock, &done);
if (error || done)
return error;
/*fallthrough*/
case BREAK_WRITE:
error = xfs_break_leased_layouts(inode, iolock, &done);
if (error || done)
return error;
break;
default:
WARN_ON_ONCE(1);
return -EINVAL;
}
}
