Some people want to create truely enormous arrays.
As we sometimes need to hold one file descriptor for each
device, this can hit the NOFILE limit.
So raise the limit if it ever looks like it might be a problem.

It is possible that the devices in an array have different sizes, and
different data_offsets. So the 'before_space' and 'after_space' may
be different from drive to drive.
Any decisions about how much to change the data_offset must work on
all devices, so must be based on the minimum available space on
any devices.
So find this minimum first, then do the calculation.

If space_after and space_before are zero (the default) then assume that
metadata doesn't support changing data_offset.

If we can modify the data_offset, we can avoid doing any backups at all.
If we can't fall back on old approach - but not if --data-offset
was requested.

raid10 currently uses the 'backup_blocks' field to store something
else: a minimum offset change.
This is bad practice, we will shortly need to have both for RAID5/6,
so make a separate field.

For RAID5, not being able to set new_data_offset because of
old kernel is not a problem. So make this fatal on for RAID10.
Also remove an unused assignment to 'rv'.

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

As 'layout' doesn't map neatly from RAID4 to RAID5, we need to
set it correctly for RAID4.
Also, when no reshape is needed we should set re->level to the final
desired level.

Grow - be careful about 'delayed' reshapes.
Introduced a bug where a list of devices longer than 1
would cause an infinite loop. Oops.

Grow_reshape re-factor
in mdadm-3.2 broke conversion from RAID5 and RAID1 - and we
never noticed.
This fixes it.

As it was the code would crash due to "mdstat" being NULL.
Code is now more sane, but hasn't been tested on an array that
needs to grow.

When reducing the number of devices in a RAID10, we increase the
data offset to avoid the need for backup area.
If there is no room at the end of the device to allow this, we need
to first reduce the component size of each device. However if there
is room, we don't want to insist on that, otherwise growing then
shrinking the array would not be idempotent.
So find the min before/after space before analysing a RAID10 for
reshape, and if the after space is insufficient, reduce the total size
of the array and the component size accordingly.

RAID10 reshape requires that data_offset be changed.
So we only allow it if the new_data_offset attribute is available,
and we compute a suitable change in data offset.
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
This can be used to over-ride the automatic assignment of
data offset.
For --create, it is useful to re-create old arrays where different
defaults applied.
For --grow it may be able to force a reshape in the reverse direction.

If multiple reshapes are activated on the same devices (different
partitions) then one might be forced to wait for the other to
complete.
As reshaping suspends access to small sections of the array
at time, this cause a region to be suspended for a long time,
which isn't good.
To try to detect this and don't start suspending until
the reshape is actually happening.
This is only effective on 3.7 and later as prior kernels
don't report when the delayed reshape can progress. For
the earlier kernels, just give a warning.

The 'size' has been changed to be unsigned recently.
Analogous changes should be made to reshape_super().
'0' should be used in case of 'no change' now.

commit d04f65f48c
Change the values for "max size" from -1 to 1.
Messed up 's->size' - leaving it as '1' (MAX_SIZE) in some cases and
causing the array reshape to fail.
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
Both are impossible, and '1' allows size to be unsigned,
which is neater.
Also #define MAX_SIZE to be '1' to make it all more explicit.

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.

malloc should never fail, and if it does it is unlikely
that anything else useful can be done. Best approach is to
abort and let some super-daemon restart.
So define xmalloc, xcalloc, xrealloc, xstrdup which don't
fail but just print a message and exit. Then use those
removing all the tests for failure.
Also replace all "malloc;memset" sequences with 'xcalloc'.

This is most likely to happen if the array has been stopped,
in which case the error is pointless.
