In the comment to v2 you suggested to negate the condition, hence I
thought it's YOU who wants it to be retried.

The "retried" is a very common form among kernel drivers, so it's good
to me.

This will make code less readable because of the goto, and thus, there
will be two branches for handling of the returned value instead of one +
goto. Hence this part is good to me as-is.
