When checking that a container matches the required uuid,
we need to call 'getinfo_super' before we have a 'content'
to test.

Separate the load_container call from the load_super call,
and use different validity tests as appropriate.
Add some general code tidying and a bit of indent change to make
structure a little clearer.

This is somewhat inconsistent with the last member of a
container getting special handling.
Just simplify it so the code seems to make sense and important
is easy to follow.

Now that the next_member loop is much smaller it is easy to
just use 'content' rather than stashing it in 'tmpdev->content'.
So we can remove the 'content' field from 'struct mddev_dev'.

We have a 'goto next_member' loop which is rather spread-out and
confusing.
Recent refactoring make it possible to contract that loop
significantly.

In assemble, we see (inside a 'for' loop):
if (condition) {
lots of stuff
} else
something
small thing
if (same condition) {
lots more stuff
break;
}
where 'condition' cannot be changed in the middle.
So simplify this to
if (condition) {
lots of stuff
small thing
lots more stuff
break;
}
something
small thing
which duplicates the small thing, but provides much
conceptual simplicity.

Remove the _t pointer typedef and remove the _s suffix for the
structure,
These things do not help readability.

If we get an early error (e.g. not a block device) we need to
not continue through and check e.g. uuid.
Also make sure we set used=2 whenever we find an error, and don't
bother with ->free_super as 'goto loop' does that.
Now that we abort earlier, we can remove lots of tests on
tst && tst->sb

This allows the info for a single array to be extracted,
so we don't have to write it into st->subarray.
For consistency, implement container_content for super0 and super1,
to just return the mdinfo for the single array.

If a device - typically in a mirrored set - is assembled independently
of the other devices, and then attempted to be brought back into the
set it could contain inconsistent data. It should not be included.
So detect this situation by ensuring that the 'most recent' device is
believed to be active by every other device. If a device is wayward,
it will only consider fellow wayward devices to be active and will
think all others are failed or missing.
This patch only fixes --assemble, not --incremental

To accurately detect when an array has been split and is now being
recombined, we need to track which other devices each thinks is
working.
We should never include a device in an array if it thinks that the
primary device has failed.
This patch just allows get_info_super to return a list of devices
and whether they are thought to be working or not.

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'.

When we find a device that was recently part of the array but is now
out of date (based on the event count) we might want to add it back in
(like --re-add) if the likely cause was a connection problem or we
might not if the likely cause was device failure.
So make this a policy issue: if action=re-add or better, try to re-add
any device that looks like it might be part of the array.
This applies:
when we assemble the array: old devices will be evicted by the
kernel and need to be re-added.
when we assemble the array during --incr for the same reason.
when we find a device that could be added to a running array.
This doesn't affect arrays with external metadata at all.
For such arrays:
When the container is assembled, the most recent instance of each
device is included without reference to whether it is too old or not.
Then the metadata handler must which slices of which devices to
include in which array and with what state. So the
->container_content should probably check the policy and compare the
sequence numbers/event counts.
When a device is added (--add) to a container with active arrays
we only add as a 'spare'. --re-add doesn't seem to be an option.
When a device is added with -I ->container_content gets another
chance to assess things again. So again it should check the policy.

commit 1ff9833928
broke the checking of metadata types via the 'auto' line.
Be moving 'load_super" before "conf_test_metadata" we left
tst->sb set even if conf_test_metadata fails, so the device will
actually be accepted and used.
So if we decide to reject the device, free the superblock so it is
clear that it is rejected.

Found during testing:
- cannot check metadata for homehost before loading metadata.
- As 1.x metadata can has a state 'rebuilding' between
'spare' and 'ok', we need to include that in our calculations.

If we find we cannot add the requested bitmap file when
assembling the array, then make sure to clean up properly
and don't leave a half-configured array.

If --assemble is given a container and some other devices to assemble
an array from, it complains with an error because that doesn't make
sense.
However it currently also complains if the list of devices was extract
from the config file rather than being given on the command line.
That is not appropriate.
So add an '&& inargv' test to ensure that we are really complaining
about the right thing.

1.x metadata allows a device to be a member of the array while it
is still recoverying. So it is a working member, but is not
completely in-sync.
mdadm/assemble does not understand this distinction and assumes that a
work member is fully in-sync for the purpose of determining if there
are enough in-sync devices for the array to be functional.
So collect the 'recovery_start' value from the metadata and use it in
assemble when determining how useful a given device is.

Once load_super has succeeded, it should continue to succeed. However
devices can disappear etc so it is prudent to always check the return
status of load_super.

Previously such things did not exist: ACTIVE and SYNC were either both
set or both clear. Recent changes with reshape means that a device
can be ACTIVE but not yet fully in-sync, so they need to be handled
and included in the array as active devices.

When disks have conflicting container memberships (same container ids
but incompatible member arrays) --update=uuid can be used to move
offenders to a new container id by changing 'orig_family_num'.
Note that this only supports random updates of the uuid as the actual
uuid is synthesized. We also need to communicate the new
'orig_family_num' value to all disks involved in the update. A new
field 'update_private' is added to struct mdinfo to allow this
information to be transmitted.

If an array name contains a "hostname:" prefix, then
--assemble will tend to leave it there, while --incremental
will strip it off (when chosing a device name during auto-assembly).
Make this more consistent: strip the name off if we decide that
the name will be treated as 'local'. Leave it on if it will be
treated as 'foreign'.

If mdadm.conf contains
HOMEHOST <ignore>
or commandline contains
--homehost=<ignore>
then the check that array metadata mentions the given homehost is
replace by a check that the name recorded in the metadata is not
already used by some other array mentioned in mdadm.conf.
This allows more arrays to use their native name rather than having
an _NN suffix added.
This should only be used during boot time if all arrays required for
normal boot are listed in mdadm.conf.
If auto-assembly is used to find all array during boot, then the
HOMEHOST feature should be used to ensure there is no room for
confusion in choosing array names, and so it should not be set
to <ignore>.

The line 'auto' in mdadm.conf can be used to disable assembly
of specific metadata types, or of all arrays.
This does not affect assembly of arrays listed in mdadm.conf
or on command line.
auto -all
will disable all auto-assembly.
auto -ddf
will cause mdadm to ignore ddf arrays that are not explicitly
mentioned, and auto assemble anything else it finds.

If an array is created with --homehost=any, then --assemble and
--incremental will treat it as being local to 'this' host, no matter
what the name of this host is.
This is useful for array that will be given unique names and be
moved between machines.
This needs to be documented.
