If i'm not wrong, you mean 'while (expected condition has not occurred) ;'
(note the semicolon)
Otherwise, it does not make sense logically.
IMHO, busy waiting like this would not be recommended in any app, and not at
all inside kernel code.
In case, there is absolutely no choice but to wait on a while(), the
simplest way to let the user know about the internal state of your
app/library is by having (a) log statement(s) inside the loop.
