During Online Capacity Expansion metadata has to be updated to show
array changes and allow for future assembly of array. To do this
mdadm prepares and sends reshape_update metadata update to mdmon.
The update contains the old and new number of raid disks, and the
indices of the spare disks that will be used to fill the spaces.
This works as follows:
1. reshape_super() prepares metadata update.
2. mdadm discovers the spares and adds them to the array
3. mdadm sends the update to mdmon
4. managemon in prepare_update() allocates required memory for bigger
device object
5. monitor in process_update() updates the metadata to record the
new sizes and the newly assigned devices.
6. mdadm initiates the reshape

of recovering)

As chunk_size in mdstat_ent is never set, we shouldn't copy
it into a->info.array.
In fact, it is safest to get rid of the field altogether.

Detail: report reshape and check as well as resync and recovery
Wait: if the resync is pending or delayed, wait for that too.

towards member of devices.

This allows finding the array which contains a given component.
Components are named using the kernel-internal string name such
as "sda1" or "hdb".
Don't return member arrays, only the contain that contains them.
Also tidy up the parsing of 'inactive' arrays in /proc/mdstat.
If we see 'inactive' we need to set 'in_devs' immediately as there
is no level coming.

Monitoring /proc/mounts and creating a .pid file as soon as /var/run
is writable is racy. Most distros clean all non-directories from
/var/run early in boot and if mdmon races with this it could
lose the files as soon as they are created.
Instead require that "mdmon --takeover" be run after /var is writable.

/var/run probably doesn't persist from early boot.
So if necessary, store in in /lib/init/rw or somewhere else
that does persist.

From 2.6.30, /proc/mounts and various /sys files will
probably always returns 'readable' to select, so we will need
to wait on POLLPRI to get the 'new data is available' signal.
When using select, this corresponds to an 'exception', so
adjust calls to select accordingly.
In one case we sometimes wait on a socket and sometime on
/proc/mounts, so we need to test which.

Allow mdmon to start while /var/run/mdadm is readonly. Later a SIGHUP
can trigger mdmon to drop its pid and socket once /var/run/mdadm is
writable. Of course one needs the pid to send a HUP, that can be stored
in a distribution specific rw-init directory... For now, rely on a
killall -HUP mdmon to get the files dumped.

When running with SELinux enabled and using mdadm to monitor devices,
attempts to send emails to an admin will be blocked because mdadm is
holding open /proc/mdstat without setting the FD_CLOEXEC flag. As a
result, sendmail has an open descriptor to /proc/mdstat after the
popen() call, which SELinux decides isn't really any of sendmail's
business and so sendmail gets denied.
