Since we are going to call again prepare_to_wait() on top of the loop,
is finish_wait() call here really needed?

What about following what we do in vsock_accept and vsock_connect?

     prepare_to_wait()

     while (condition) {
         ...
         prepare_to_wait();
     }

     finish_wait()

I find it a little more readable, but your solution is fine too.

Thanks,
Stefano
