This pattern appears in two places in the iavf source code:
while (!mutex_trylock(...))
usleep_range(...);
That's just mutex_lock with extra steps.
The pattern is a leftover from when iavf used bit flags instead of
mutexes for locking. Commit 5ac49f3c2702 ("iavf: use mutexes for locking
of critical sections") replaced test_and_set_bit with !mutex_trylock,
preserving the pattern.
Simplify it to mutex_lock.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
