What exactly you mean by "either case' here? "errors_handled" case or not?
Need to adjust the comment as we don't do that check here anymore.

You seem to be holding the I/O that has failed, but what about writes
that are issued after this failure. They seem to go through just fine.
Did I miss something? I think do_writes() needs to check for a leg
failure (just like it does for log_failure already), and put them on
failure/hold list, right?
Also, we do need to do the above work only if "primary" leg fails. We
can continue to work just like the old code if "secondary" legs fail,
right? Not sure if this is worth optimizing though, but I would like to
see it implemented as it is just a few extra checks. We can have
primary_failure field like log_failure field.
Thanks, Malahal.
