When people assemble a md raid device with a large number of
component deivces (e.g. 1500 DASD disks), the raid device detail
information generated by 'mdadm --detail --export $devnode' is very
large. It is because the detail information contains information of
all the component disks (even the missing/failed ones).
In such condition, when udev-md-raid-arrays.rules is triggered and
internally calls "mdadm --detail --no-devices --export $devnode",
user may observe systemd error message ""invalid message length". It
is because the following on-stack raw message buffer in systemd code
is not big enough,
systemd/src/libudev/libudev-monitor.c
_public_ struct udev_device *udev_monito ...
struct ucred *cred;
union {
struct udev_monitor_netlink_header nlh;
char raw[8192];
} buf;
Even change size of raw[] from 8KB to larger size, it may still be not
enough for detail message of a md raid device with much larger number of
component devices.
To fix this problem, an extra option '--no-devices' is added (the
original idea is proposed by Neil Brown). When printing detailed
information of a md raid device, if '--no-devices' is specified, then
all component devices information will not be printed, then the output
message size can be restricted to a small number, even with the systemd
only has 8KB on-disk raw buffer, the md raid array udev rules can work
correctly without failure message.

Extend the --consistency-policy parameter to work also in Grow mode.
Using it changes the currently active consistency policy in the kernel
driver and updates the metadata to make this change permanent. Currently
this supports only changing between "ppl" and "resync" policies, that is
enabling or disabling PPL at runtime.

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.

A clustered disk is added by the traditional --add sequence.
However, other nodes need to acknowledge that they can "see"
the device. This is done by --cluster-confirm:
--cluster-confirm SLOTNUM:/dev/whatever (if disk is found)
or
--cluster-confirm SLOTNUM:missing (if disk is not found)
The node initiating the --add, has the disk state tagged with
MD_DISK_CLUSTER_ADD and the one confirming tag the disk with
MD_DISK_CANDIDATE.

Both --detail and --monitor can report the names of member
devices on an array, and do so by searching /dev and finding
the shortest name that matches.
If
--prefer=foo
is given, they will instead prefer a name that contain /foo/.
So
mdadm --detail /dev/md0 --prefer=by-path
will list the component devices via their /dev/disk/by-path/xxx
names.

During initrd phase continuing reshape will cause file system context
lost. This blocks ability to control reshape using checkpoints.
To avoid this, during initrd phase assemble has to be executed with
