Only one superswitch should be externally visible for each
general type. Others which handle different flavours
(e.g. container/data-array) should be internal only.
Code in manager can now just call queue_metadata_update with a
(freeable) buf holding the update, and it will get passed to the
monitor and written out.
'container_member' isn't really a well defined concept.
Each metadata might enumerate members differently, so just
let each format /mdX/YYYY as appropriate.
I want the metadata handler to have more control over the 'version',
particularly for arrays which are members of containers.
So discard st->text_version and instead use info->text_version
which getinfo_super can initialise.
mark_dirty is just a special case of mark_clean - with sync_pos == 0.
mark_sync is not required. We don't modify the metadata when sync
finishes. Only when the array becomes non-writeable at which point we
use mark_clean to record how far the resync progressed.

Each md_message encapsulates a single command. A command includes an 'action'
member which describes what if any data comes after the action. Communication
with the monitor involves updating the active_cmd pointer and then writing to
mgr_pipe. Pass/fail status is returned via mon_pipe.

Added curr_state as a parameter to set_disk. Handlers look at this to
record components failures, and set global 'degraded' or 'failed'
status.
When reading the state as faulty:
1/ mark the disk failed in the metadata
2/ write '-blocked' to the rdev state to allow the kernel's failure
mechanism to advance
3/ the kernel will take away the drive's role in remove_and_add_spares()
4/ once the disk no longer has a role writing 'remove' to the rdev state
will get the disk out of array.
There is a window after writing '-blocked' where the kernel will return
-EBUSY to remove requests. We rely on the fact that the disk will
continue to show faulty so we lazily wait until the kernel is ready to
remove the disk. If the manager thread needs to get the disk out of the
way it can ping the monitor and wait, just like the replace_array()
case.

Create a ddf array by naming the device /dev/ddf* or

If ddf is specified with no level, assume a container (indeed,
anything else would be wrong).

super-ddf.c:723: format %lu expects type long unsigned int, but argument 3 has type unsigned int
Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
The current model for creating arrays involves writing
a superblock to each device in the array.
With containers (as with DDF), that model doesn't work.
Every device in the container may need to be updated
for an array made from just some the devices in a container.
So instead of calling write_init_super for each device,
we call it once for the array and have it iterate over
all the devices in the array.
To help with this, ->add_to_super now passes in an 'fd' and name for
the device. These get saved for use by write_init_super. So
add_to_super takes ownership of the fd, and write_init_super will
close it.
This information is stored in the new 'info' field of supertype.
As part of this, write_init_super now removes any old traces of raid
metadata rather than doing this in common code.
klibc still misses a lot functionality to let mdadm link against,
this small step helps to get to the real trouble.. :)

This one fixes a bug where once manage mode is set, the -a short option
is no longer parsed correctly (true of grow mode as well). This happens
because when you switch the short opts to the bitmap_auto version, it
specifies that the argument must follow a, yet the loop expects to get
an undecorated option and parse it as the disk dev instead of trying to
parse optarg. So, create a new short opt array that is used for manage
and grow that doesn't list a as having an argument.
udev likes to get information about a device as key=value pairs so it
can create disk/by-id links etc. So add --export flag which causes
the output of --detail to easily parsable.
From: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@novell.com>
Depending on the size of the array we reserve space for up to 128K
of bitmap, and we use it where possible.
When hot-adding to a version 1.0 we can still only use the 3K at the
end though - need a sysfs interface to improve that.
If a small chunksize is requested on Create, we don't auto-enlarge
the reserved space - this still needs to be fixed.
If not 'ftw' is available, still allow openning of devices by dev number.
More recent version of uclibc support nftw, so add support to check
for that.

glibc 2.4 is pedantic on ignoring return values from fprintf, fwrite and

in the Grow.c case i only print a warning, since i don't think we can do

We make sure all devices can are consistent before doing any --update

So when you say auto=md or auto=part in mdadm.conf, it give a preference
for type of array, but standard name will override.
But --auto=md is more insistant.
