When e.g. array name (an) is correct and it is the same as container name (cn),
file element creation /dev/md/an will replace /dev/md/cn.
This can cause that user cannot access container using /dev/md/cn.
Verify during array creation if chosen name is not already existing
one.

When validate_geometry finds that we haven't committed to

cannot report them effectively.

getinfo_super_imsm_volume doesn't correctly set info.disk fields

It should be the last disk passed to add_to_super.

When chunk size is not set from command line we need to guess it
depending on metadata given on command line or found on listed devices.
Validate_geometry sets the default for it's metadata if chunk is not set.
For external metadata chunk is set only when creating in a container.
For imsm validate_geometry_imsm_orom is responsible for finding default
chunk depending on container metadata loaded. Container will already know
which controller it is attached to, and have this controllers orom
available.
do_default_chunk indicates that we need to find default chunk and
if validate_geometry fails for some metadata it tells us to reset chunk
that may have been set.
Current solution would set default chunk correctly for imsm only if
container device was given on command line. With the list of devices
chunk was always set to 512.

mdadm prevents creation when device names are duplicated on the command
line, but leaves the partially created array intact. Detect this case
in the error code from add_to_super() and cleanup the partially created
array. The imsm handler is updated to report this conflict in
add_to_super_imsm_volume().
Note that since neither mdmon, nor userspace for that matter, ever saw an
active array we only need to perform a subset of the cleanup actions.
So call ioctl(STOP_ARRAY) directly and arrange for Create() to cleanup
the map file rather than calling Manage_runstop().

The map file needs to be updated after adding the first member array to
an Intel metadata container. The uuid for an imsm container uses the
->family_num field of the metadata. This field is static, but is only
set after the first member array has been created. Prior to this all
devices are free floating spares and do not have any information that
can identify specific container membership. At Create() time we take
the uninitialized uuid from ->get_info_super() prior to updating the
metadata. So the current result is:
# mdadm --create /dev/md/imsm /dev/sd[b-e] -n 4 -e imsm
# mdadm --create /dev/md/vol0 /dev/md/imsm -n 4 -l 0
# cat /var/run/mdadm/map
md126 /md127/0 3e03aee2:78c3c593:1e8ecaf0:eefb53ed /dev/md/vol0
md127 imsm 53d6f8b1:7a783f24:f30483c5:705c48c7 /dev/md/imsm
# mdadm -Ebs
ARRAY metadata=imsm UUID=589d2d2c:4221a54d:acb63c06:c3907f52
ARRAY /dev/md/vol0 container=589d2d2c:4221a54d:acb63c06:c3907f52
member=0 UUID=57b89b63:5cd0eae1:17dd26b3:51cc78d4
So, before we write out the new metadata check to see if the member
array uuid has changed as a result of this addition. If it has, update
its uuid in the map file and flag its parent container for updating. In
support of updating the container uuid the semantics of
->write_init_super are changed to clear any metadata specific member
array cursors (e.g. ddf_super.currentconf or intel_super.current_vol)
such that a subsequent call to ->getinfo_super returns container
information.

When creating an array in a container, print e.g.

Defaulting to version /md127/1 metadata
When loading the metadata for a subarray (super_by_fd), we set
->subarray to be the name read from md/metadata_version so that
getinfo_super can return info about the correct array.
With this we can differentiate between a container and
an array within the container by looking at ->subarray[0].
For arrays that don't have redundancy (raid0, linear etc), the
clean/dirty distinction doesn't mean anything. So always
'assume clean' for these arrays.
'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.

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.
Now that validate_geometry opens and checks the device,
we don't need to do it as much in top level Create.
We only need it to check for old array or filesystem info.
So only open the device at that place.
This did not work before as we couldn't mark it clean as there would
be some parity blocks out of sync, and raid6 will not assemble a
dirty degraded array.
So make such arrays doubly degraded (the last device becomes a spare)
and clean.
