After patch b6180160f ("imsm: save current_vol number")
current_vol for imsm is not set and kill_subarray()
cannot determine which volume has to be deleted.
Volume has to be passed as "subarray_id".
The parameter affects only IMSM metadata.

When Kill() cannot open device or find superblock it return the same
error and mdadm ignores it.
Change error handling in Kill() function. Return error if device is
busy, ignore it only when superblock doesn't exist- assume that metadata
is zeroed.

Add a new parameter to mdadm: --consistency-policy=. It determines how
the array maintains consistency in case of unexpected shutdown. This
maps to the md sysfs attribute 'consistency_policy'. It can be used to
create a raid5 array using PPL. Add the necessary plumbing to pass this
option to metadata handlers. The write journal and bitmap
functionalities are treated as different policies, which are implicitly
selected when using --write-journal or --bitmap options.

We widely use a "devnum" which is 0 or +ve for md%d devices
and -ve for md_d%d devices.
But I want to be able to use md_%s device names.
So get rid of devnum (a number) and use devnm (a 32char string).
eg.
md0
md_d2
md_home

If we change some functions to accept 'verbose', where <0 means to be
quiet, in place of 'quiet', then we will be able to merge
'quiet' and 'verbose' together for simplicity.

We test 'force' twice with the second having not chance of
taking effect.
As a result a subsequent message - intended for use in the 'force'
case is never generated.
So remove the first test - it is unnecessary.

There are some more times when we don't care that the hardware doesn't
support the metadata:
- when removing old metadata
- when reporting the metadata present before over-writing it.
So set ignore_hw_compat in these cases.

Rather than hiding this arg in the 'st' structure, pass it explicitly.
This is a first step to getting rid of 'subarray' from 'supertype'.
The strcpy in open_subarray should have better error checking, but it
will disappear soon so there is little point.

To support incorpating a new bare device into a collection of arrays -
one partition each - mdadm needs a modest understanding of partition
tables.
The main needs to be able to recognise a partition table on one device
and copy it onto another.
This will be done using pseudo metadata types 'mbr' and 'gpt'.

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.
Offline container modification shares actions that mdmon typically
handles so promote is_container_member() and version_to_superswitch()
(formerly find_metadata_methods()) to generic utility functions for the
cases where mdadm performs the operation.

mdadm should not wait indefinitely when it trys to reset
superblock on device which is busy (cannot be opened).

- When --kill-superblock is used with --metadata, find every
different superblock if there are several and kill them all.
- When creating a new array, kill off any old metadata. The code
to do this was already present but has become broken over time.

We really want --zero-super --force to zero the superblock in
all situations. So don't open with O_EXCL - trust the user.

Using buffered IO risks non-atomic updates to parts of the
device that we don't actually want to write to. This isn't in
general safe.
So switch to O_DIRECT for all that IO and make sure we have
properly aligned buffers.
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.
When an array is created, if the homehost is know,
the superblock gets it, either in the uuid, (via sha1)
or in the name field.
