It is possible for some arrays to be created e.g. by initrd, and so
not get mentioned in /var/run/mdadm/map.
As "-I" depends on things being listed in 'map', we create it by
scanning all devices if it doesn't exist.

Reshape with large chunk size can require a large stripe_cache.
We make this work when starting the reshape but not when
restarting at assemble time. So fix that.

This is only significant for --assemble --force where some old
devices might be included into the array. If anything looks like
it isn't clean, the kernel will not allow a degraded array to be started.

We really want --zero-super --force to zero the superblock in
all situations. So don't open with O_EXCL - trust the user.

The 'udevadm settle' call appears to resolve:
mdadm: failed to stop array /dev/md127: Device or resource busy
Perhaps a running process, mounted filesystem or active volume group?

Dump the orom capabilities and hardware disk configuration. This code
relies on the name of scsi_host objects to determine the hardware port

Metadata formats like imsm work in concert with platform firmware and
hardware, so provide a way for mdadm to display this info to the user.

These checks are only enabled when platform support for imsm is found,
i.e. ahci driver is loaded and talking to an Intel(R) controller, and
the option rom header is located.
They can be turned off by setting the environment variable
IMSM_NO_PLATFORM to 1.

The option-rom advertises its capabilities in a data structure located in
the platform ROM region 0xc0000-0xf0000. Attempt to detect the option-rom
and limit array creation to the platform's capabilities.

imsm metadata requires all members of a raid volume to start at the same
offset. So, incrementally build a composite disk from all the
candidates passed to ->validate_geometry. After each disk is added
merge the extents and search for a common start offset that satisfies
the requested raid device size.

When chunksize is 0 in the raid1 case we need to use
info_to_blocks_per_member() to calculate the array size.

If, when creating an array, a signal target device is given which
is a container, then allow the metadata handler to choose which
devices to use.
This is currently only supported for DDF.

If any superblocks in a confused array had an event count of 0,
"mdadm -Af" would not update the event counts to assemble the array.
I don't remember why that text is there, and it has caused at least
one situation to be difficult to recover from. So remove the
test. --force means --force!

1/ When truncating the space reserved for the metadata round down to an
even numbered sector count to avoid an off-by-one error when
sysfs_add_disk rounds up.
2/ Set the current metadata parameter block size
as a floor.

Auto-assembly and planned assembly don't really work well together,
it can be confusing.
In particular in mkinitrd or similar creates an mdadm.conf to
assemble a particular array, we shouldn't go assembling any
other arrays as well.
If you want auto assembly, you need to give mdadm a config
file with no ARRAY lines.
mdadm -Ascpartitions
can do this.

Now that names in /dev are usually created (eventually) by udev,
it isn't really safe to rely in finding a name in /dev to pass to
mdmon to identify which array to monitor.
And it isn't really necessary to have a name in /dev.
So just pass the symbolic name, e.g. md127 or md123.
Change util.c to pass that name, and change mdmon to process the
name sensibly.
