Remove 'fd' arg from sysfs_add_disk
...
It it never used, and removing means there are several 'open's that can
go.

Unify code into find_free_devnum.
...
Two places have code to find a free md device number. Make this
a subroutine.

Fix for segfault when reading /proc/mdstat
...
Some kernel versions don't put a space between 'active' and '(auto-read-only)'
in /proc/mdstat. This causes a parsing problem leaving 'level' set to
NULL which causes a crash.
So synthesise a space there if it is missing, and check for 'level' to
be NULL and don't de-ref if it is.

Replace sysarray with mdinfo
...
Sure, mdinfo is bigger, but having a uniform structure for lots of things
will make life easier.

Use 'mdinfo' instead of special 'sysdev' structure.
...
there is needless duplicatiion between mdinfo and sysdev, so discard
the latter.

Drop the superblock arg from all metadata methods.
...
It is now in the 'supertype'
2007-12-14 20:14:33 +11:00
68c7d6d790
Add 'supertype' arg to almost all metadata methods.
...
The 'superblock' will be moved into this structure soon.

Allow metadata handlers to free their own superblock.
...
As the metadata handler allocates the superblock, it should free it
too. DDF will have a more complex 'superblock' which needs more complex
freeing.

Add new mode: --incremental
...
--incremental allows arrays to be assembled one device at a time.
This is expected to be used with udev.
