Yes, it's a bit of a mess. I suspect that what we should be doing here is pulling the failed buffer write retry code up into the main push loop. That is, we can set LI_FAILED on log items that fail to flush, either directly at submit time, or at IO completion for write errors. Then we can have the main AIL loop set LI_FAILED on push failures, and also the main loop detect LI_FAILED directly and call a new ->iop_resubmit() function rather than having to handle that the resubmit cases as special cases in every ->iop_push() path. That seems like a much cleaner way of handling submission failure and retries for all log item types that need it compared to the way we currently handle it for buffers...
