Backwards jumps are generally disapproved of. How about:
spin_lock_irqsave(shost->host_lock, flags);
for (;;) {
sdev = __scsi_device_lookup_by_target(starget, sdev, lun);
if (!sdev || !scsi_device_get(sdev))
break;
}
spin_unlock_irqrestore(shost->host_lock, flags);
I must say I don't really like the for(;;) construct.
And it's really confusing as we want to find an sdev, so breaking
if it's _not_ found is ... weird.
Cheers,
Hannes
