For mdadm's systemd configuration, current systemd KillMode is "none" in
following service files,
- mdadm-grow-continue@.service
- mdmon@.service
This "none" mode is strongly againsted by systemd developers (see man 5
systemd.kill for "KillMode=" section), and is considering to remove in
future systemd version.
As systemd developer explained in disuccsion, the systemd kill process
is,
1. send the signal specified by KillSignal= to the list of processes (if
any), TERM is the default
2. wait until either the target of process(es) exit or a timeout expires
3. if the timeout expires send the signal specified by FinalKillSignal=,
KILL is the default
For "control-group", all remaining processes will receive the SIGTERM
signal (by default) and if there are still processes after a period f
time, they will get the SIGKILL signal.
For "mixed", only the main process will receive the SIGTERM signal, and
if there are still processes after a period of time, all remaining
processes (including the main one) will receive the SIGKILL signal.
From the above comment, currently KillMode=control-group is a proper
kill mode. Since control-gropu is the default kill mode, the fix can be
simply removing KillMode=none line from the service file, then the
default mode will take effect.

Every place where the paths for mdadm or mdmon is explicit,
it should use the BINDIR setting, not "/sbin/".

1/ Add systemd shutdown script to ensure DDF and IMSM are
clean before we actually shutdown
2/ Get udev to tell systemd to run the mdmon@mdXXX.service
units when a member array appears.
If we boot off a member array (with dracut at least),
the mdmon started in the initramfs will lose track of
/sys etc, so we need to restart it.
systemd will try to forget about it too (but not actually
kill it because we said not to do this).
Having udev tell it to start it will allow a new mdmon to
run which can see /sys, and systemd will know about it.
3/ Always use --offroot and --takeover when starting mdmon with
systemd
--offroot is needed else shutdown will hang.
--takeover is needed incase an mdmon was started earlier
(e.g. in initramfs).
Neither hurt if they aren't actually needed.

Mdadm does not wait enough time when mdmon is started by systemd.
It causes various problems with behaviour of a RAID volume with external metadata.
For example: mdmon does not update a value of checkpoint during migration
and second RAID5 volume is read-only after reboot done during
container reshape (both problems occur with IMSM matadata).
If a type of process start-up is changed to 'forking', systemctl will
wait until mdmon (parent) process exits after calling fork.
This way mdmon will always be fully initialized after start_mdmon
and these problems will not occur.
In this case it is recommended to add a path to PIDFile, so that systemd
does not have to guess a PID of the mdmon process.

Redirecting output to /dev/null is unnecessary and hides any error
messages there might be. So leave as defaults which are none,
journal, inherit.

As mdmon doesn't inherit environment from mdadm when it is started
by system, it cannot inherit IMSM_NO_PLATFORM.
But if an imsm array as assembled then mdmon really should handle it
whether there is a platform present or not.
So always set this var.

While not strictly necessary for systemd, it is cleaner to avoid
forking when running from a management daemon. So add a --foreground
option to mdmon.

If launching mdmon via systemctl fails, we fall back to the old method
of fork/exec. This allows for having mdmon launched via systemctl
which avoids problems with it getting killed by systemd due to it
ending up in the parent's cgroup (udev).
