In commit 039b7225e6 ("md: allow creation of mdNNN arrays via
md_mod/parameters/new_array") support for name like mdNNN
was added. Special warning, when kernel is unable to handle
request, was added in commit 7105228e19
("mdadm/mdopen: create new function create_named_array for
writing to new_array"), but it was not adequate enough,
because in this situation mdadm tries to do it in old way.
This commit changes warning to be more relevant when
creating RAID container with "/dev/mdNNN" name and mdadm
back to old approach.

Creating an array by opening a block-device with major number of 9
will transparently load the md module if needed.
Creating an array by opening
/sys/module/md_mod/parameters/new_array
and writing to it won't, it will just fail if md_mod isn't loaded.
So when opening that file fails with ENOENT, run "modprobe md_mod" and
try again.
This fixes a bug whereby if you have "CREATE names=yes" in mdadm.conf,
and the md modules isn't loaded, then creating or assembling an
array will not honor the "names=yes" configuration.

Using md_get_array_info() to determine if an array is valid is broken
during creation, since the ioctl() returns -ENODEV if the device is
valid but not active.

When an array is created the content is not initialized,
so it could have remnants of an old filesystem or md array
etc on it.
udev will see this and might try to activate it, which is almost
certainly not what is wanted.
So create a mechanism for mdadm to communicate with udev to tell
it that the device isn't ready. This mechanism is the existance
of a file /run/mdadm/created-mdXXX where mdXXX is the md device name.
When creating an array, mdadm will create the file.
A new udev rule file, 01-md-raid-creating.rules, will detect the
precense of thst file and set ENV{SYSTEMD_READY}="0".
This is fairly uniformly used to suppress actions based on the
contents of the device.

In a sufficiently recent kernel, an md%d array can be
created by writing to .../parameters/new_array.
If mdadm does this consistently, then another new
feature, disabling create_on_open, can be enabled.
This avoids races on shutdown.
An added benefit of using new_array (where available)
is that it allows md arrays with numbers larger than 511
(e.g. md999) to be created. The old create_on_open
mechanism doesn't support such devices since
Commit: af5628f05db6 ("md: disable probing for md devices 512 and over.")
in Linux 3.17.
After a few more mdadm releases it would be good to
have mdadm disable create_on_open automatically.

There is no need to request write access when opening
the md device, as we never write to it, and none of the
ioctls we use require write access.
If we do open with write access, then when we close, udev notices that
the device was closed after being open for write access, and it
generates a CHANGE event.
This is generally unwanted, and particularly problematic when mdadm is
trying to --stop the array, as the CHANGE event can cause the array to
be re-opened before it completely closed, which results in a new mddev
being allocated.
So just use O_RDONLY instead of O_RDWR.

The clang compiler complained about each of these.
The mdmon.h error will only affect 'far' RAID10 arrays using intel or DDF
metadata, and there is no such thing.
The mdopen.c will cause a problem if there are no free md device
numbers in the first 512. That is fairly unlikely.
The restripe.c error would only affect the 'test_stripe' command, and
probably doesn't change its behaviour.
The super-intel.c fix is purely cosmetic.

Commit 4dd2df0966 added a trip through makedev(), major(), and minor() for
device major and minor numbers. This would cause mdadm to fail in operating
on a device with a minor number bigger than (2^19)-1 due to it changing
from dev_t to a signed int and back.
Where this was found as a problem was when a array was created with a device
specified as a name like /dev/md/raidname and there were already 128 arrays
on the system. In this case, mdadm would chose 1048575 ((2^20)-1) for the
array and minor number. This would cause the major and minor number to become
negative when generated from devnm2devid() and passed to major() and minor()
in open_dev_excl(). open_dev_excl() would then call dev_open() which would
detect the negative minor number and call open() on the *char containing the
major:minor pair which isn't a valid file.

It is best to keep strings all together so that they
are easier to search for in the source code.
If a string is so long that it looks ugly one line,
them maybe it should be broken into multiple lines
for display too.
Only strings which contain a newline can be broken
into multiple lines:
"It is OK to\n"
"break this string\n"

We widely use a "devnum" which is 0 or +ve for md%d devices
and -ve for md_d%d devices.

Creating a new MD device with the name 'd-0' results in some
unexpected behavior, since mdadm sees that '-0' is a
non-negative integer and therefore makes a "partitionable"
device (/dev/md_d0). This is not the expected behavior,
since the documentation mentions 'dN' several places, and a
reboot brings it up as /dev/md/d-0. Make this consistent
by ensuring that the character immediately following 'd' is
a digit during creation.

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'.

Silencing gcc's warning of uninitialized variables was hiding a bug
where if we have /dev/md64 as a symlink, and /dev/md64p1 was a real

In this case major_num and minor_num would not get populated, but we
end up comparing against them because the stat for md64p1 succeeds.

When choosing the minor number to use with an array, we currently base
the number of the 'name' stored in the metadata if that name is
numeric.
Extend that so that if it looks like a number md device name (/dev/md0
or just md0 or even /dev/md/0), then we use the number at the end to
suggest a minor number.
The means that if someone creates and array with "--name md0" or even
"--name /dev/md0" it will continue to do what they expect.
