glibc 2.4 is pedantic on ignoring return values from fprintf, fwrite and
write, so now we check the rval and actually do something with it.
in the Grow.c case i only print a warning, since i don't think we can do
anything in case we fail invalidating those superblocks (is should never
happen, but then...)

glibc says of rand
Do not use this function in applications intended to be
portable when good randomness is needed.
Go figure...

fix for another srict-aliasing problem, you can typecast a reference to a
void pointer to anything, you cannot typecast a reference to a
struct.

This can be used to bootstrape homehost tagging.
If no arrays are found that are tagged, we look for any array
and tag it.

This cannot be used yet, but it is working towards auto-assembly.
When auto-assembling an array, we make a name in /dev/md/
giving a number (from the peferred minor) or name (from set-name).
Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de>
i.e. if assembling with --name or --super-minor, then if we find two
different arrays with the same apparent identity, and one was built
for 'this' host, then prefer that one instead of giving up in disgust.

We make sure all devices can are consistent before doing any --update
This saves us from updating some but not all of an array, and then
aborting.
It also means we can backtrack on out decisions, which we might want to
do later.

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.

Use to avoid starting arrays if there are
fewer devices available than last time the array was started.
This is only needed with --scan, as with --scan, that behaviour
is the default.

So when you say auto=md or auto=part in mdadm.conf, it give a preference
for type of array, but standard name will override.
But --auto=md is more insistant.
FIXME I'm not at all happy about handling of names that already exist.
I don't think that should be removed if the device is active.

When creating a file bitmap, choose a default size that
results in fewer than 2^21 chunks. Without this kmalloc
failure in the kernel becomes likely.

This means the output of "mdadm -Es" can be used as a complete
mdadm.conf file .... if you really want to do that.

A pending patch to the kernel causes bitmap file updates
to not go through the page cache, so O_DIRECT is needed to
ensure that we read current data.

NOTE: This is an incompatable change affecting raid5 reshape.
If you want to reshape a raid5 using version-1 superblocks,
use 2.6.17-rc2 or later, and mdadm-2.4.1 or later.
