If getinfo_super is called on a container supertype we only get information
on first disk. As a parameter it uses reference to preallocated
mdinfo structure. Amending getinfo_super to return full list of disks
would require ammending all previous calls and subsequently freeing memory
allocated for mdinfo list.
Function container_content that returns a mdinfo list is written
specifically for assembly, performing actions not needed to just fill
mdinfo. It also does not include spares so is unsuitable.
As an alternative a new function getinfo_super_disks is created
to obtain information about all disks states in array.
Existing function sysfs_free is used to free memory
allocated by getinfo_super_disks.

When "mdadm -I" is given a device with no metadata, mdadm tries to add
it as a 'spare' somewhere based on policy.
This patch changes the behaviour in two ways:
1/ If the device is at a 'path' where a previous device was removed
from an array or container, then we preferentially add the spare to
that array or container.
2/ Previously only 'bare' devices were considered for adding as
spares. Now if action=spare-same-slot is active, we will add
non-bare devices, but *only* if the path was previously in use
for some array, and the device will only be added to that array.

We now have 3 directory definitions: mdmon directory for its pid and
sock files (compile time define, not changable at run time), mdmonitor
directory which is for the mdadm monitor mode pid file (can only be
passed in via command line at the time mdadm is invoked in monitor mode),
and the directory for the mdadm incremental assembly map file (compile
time define, not changable at run time). Only the mdadm map file still
hunts multiple locations, and the number of locations has been reduced
to /var/run and the compile time specified location. Re-use of similar
sounding defines that actually didn't denote their actual usage at
compile time made it more difficult for a person to know what affect
changing the compile time defines would have on the resulting programs.
This patch renames the various defines to clearly identify which item
the define affects. It also reduces the number of various directories
which will be searched for these files as this has lead to confusion
in mdadm and mdmon in terms of which files should take precedence when
files exist in multiple locations, etc. It's best if the person
compiling the program intentionally and with planning selects the
right directories to be used for the various purposes. Which directory
is right depends on which items you are talking about and what boot
loader your system uses and what initramfs generation program your
system uses. Because of the inter-dependency of all these items it
would typically be up to the distribution that mdadm is being integrated
into to select the correct values for these defines.

Support for deleting a subarray out of a container. When all subarrays
are deleted the component devices are converted back into spares, a
--zero-superblock is still needed to kill the remaining metadata at this
point. This operation is blocked when the subarray is active and may
also be blocked by the metadata handler when deleting the subarray might
change the uuid of other active subarrays. For example, with imsm,
deleting subarray 'n' may change the uuid of subarrays with indexes > n.
Deleting a subarray needs to be a container wide event to ensure
disks that record the modified subarray list perceive other disks that
did not receive this change as out of date.
Notes:
The st->subarray parsing in super-intel.c and super-ddf.c is updated to
be more strict now that we are reading user supplied subarray values.

The family_number field can change. The option-rom will change the
family number when it starts a rebuild process (flags a container for
rebuild). This was not seen previously as mdadm would usually start the
rebuild process, preserving the family number.
This is the mechanism that helps to prevent a prodigal array member from
being returned to its original system and cause a rebuild to go in the
wrong direction. With the change we will end up with a container that
will fail to assemble unless the device with the incompatible family
number is left out of the assembly.
So, take several actions:
1/ Convert uuid generation to use orig_family_num, being careful to
preserve the existing uuid in the case where orig_family_num is not
set (i.e. previous mdadm created imsm arrays)
2/ Set orig_family_num at Create. For arrays created by mdadm prior to
this release orig_family_num will be zero, so set it to family_num at
the first metadata write.
3/ Add checks for orig_family_num to compare_super_imsm
4/ Update the family number when initiating rebuild
5/ The option-rom mixes some random data into the family number, add
this functionality to the mdadm implementation.

Previously it was possible to set the WRITEMOSTLY flag when
adding a device to an array, but not to clear the flag when re-adding.
This is now possible with --readwrite.

The uuid returned for an imsm spare device will never match the uuid of an
active disk. So make mdadm interpret a uuid of all f's as "match any".

When arrays do not startup correctly it would be nice to know why. Need
to move the dprintf definition to mdadm.h

Showing e.g.
near=1, far=2
for the 'far2' layout of raid10 is confusing even though there is a
sense in which is it correct.
Make it less confusing by only printing whichever number is not 1.
If both are 1, make that clear too (i.e. no redundancy).
When adding a device to an array, we check that it is large enough.
Currently the check makes sure there is also room for a reasonably
sized bitmap. But if the array doesn't have a bitmap, then this test
might be too restrictive.
So when adding, only insist there is enough space for the current
bitmap.
When Creating, still require room for the standard sized bitmap.
This resolved Debian Bug 500309
For now, this means that the lack of a homehost doesn't always prevent
assembly.
Soon we will allow assembly anyway, but have different messages if
homehost isn't supported.
mdadm -I /dev/part-of-container
should add that to a container, creating if it needed,
and then try to assemble any arrays in the container.

When we assemble an array, there are three different approaches
depending on whether metadata is internal or external, and on
kernel version.
Move all this to a common helper instead of duplicating in 3 places.

The variety of approaches to 'add_disk' are factored out into
a separate function, and Incremental mode benefits by being
closer to supporting the assembly of containers.
Also remove the adding-to-array-data-structure out of sysfs_add_disk
and into add_disk.
And add some tests for --incremental mode to make sure we don't break it.

Make --detail on a container more useful by suppressing irrelevant
detail and adding useful detail like a list of member arrays.
Ditto for members of a container: report the name of the container
array.

For use in distro shutdown scripts with a RAID root file system.
Returns immediately if the array is 'readonly', or not an externally
managed array. It is up to the distro's scripts to make sure no new
writes hit the device after this returns 'true'.

The action we are waiting for may not be complete until the monitor has
had a chance to take action on the result.
The following script can now remove the device on the first attempt,
versus a few attempts with the original Wait():
#!/bin/bash
#export MDADM_NO_MDMON=1
export IMSM_DEVNAME_AS_SERIAL=1
./mdadm -Ss
./mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/loop[0-3]
echo 2 > /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_max
./mdadm --create /dev/imsm /dev/loop[0-3] -n 4 -e imsm -a md
./mdadm --create /dev/md/r1 /dev/loop[0-3] -n 4 -l 5 --force -a mdp
./mdadm --fail /dev/md/r1 /dev/loop3
./mdadm --wait /dev/md/r1
x=0
while ! ./mdadm --remove /dev/imsm /dev/loop3 > /dev/null 2>&1
do
x=$((x+1))
done
echo "removed after $x attempts"
./mdadm --add /dev/imsm /dev/loop3
Include 2 small cleanups:
* remove the almost open coded fd2devnum() in Wait() by introducing a
new utility routine stat2devnum()
* teach connect_monitor() to parse the container device from a subarray
string

If the metadata_version is
-mdXXX/whatever
rather than
/mdXXX/whatever
then the array is readonly and should be left alone by mdmon.

We are about to change the syntax of the version string
for 'subarray's. So factor out the test into a single function.
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
When we first start an array, it might be good to start recovery
straight away. That requires setting the array to 'dirty', but
only the metadata handler can know if that is required or not.
So have a third possible 'consistent' option to set_array_state.
Either 'no' or 'yes' or 'you choose'.
Return value indicates what was chosen.
'1' (no) should be chosen unless there is a good reason.

Transition readauto arrays to active before failing drives.
Hmm... why do we keep reblocking / renotifying in the readonly case?
Need to bottom out on this, but not right now.

The cmd_filter patch merged for 2.6.27 broke retrieving the serial
number via an ioctl to /dev/sgN. In debugging this I found that other
utilities like sdparm simply run the ioctl on /dev/sdX. So just convert
to that for protection in numbers, but scream on the mailing list for
the inconvenience grr...
