I'd set a global variable flag in the interrupt service routine and check
it in the loop, then use break if the flag is set.  I assume you'll be
using something other than goto for your loops...

while (1) {
    while (1) {
        if (FLAG) break;
    }
}


If you can wait to exit the loop at the end of the current iteration, you
could use 'while (!flag) {...}' and clear the flag in the interrupt
routine.

while (1) {
    while (!flag) {
        loop1...
        loop2...
    }
}
