Current "mdadm --run /dev/mdX" will not handle external metadata
properly. mdmon won't be started etc.
So use the code from "mdadm -IRs" instead - that already does all
the right things.

Telling systemd that mdadm was started from the initrd
is often a lie and never necessary. Now that the reshape monitoring
thread handles SIGTERM gracefully it is OK for system to kill
and mdadm that it finds running.
mdmon still have a bit of a question mark over it so I won't remove
the '@' from there just yet.

This is useful for reshaping a RAID0 to a higher level.
The recovery will happen at the same time as the reshape.

This allows the smooth conversion of legacy 0.90 arrays
to 1.0 metadata.
Old metadata is likely to remain but will be ignored.
It can be removed with
mdadm --zero-superblock --metadata=0.90 /dev/whatever

This allows the metadata on a device to be saved and later restored.
This can be useful before experimenting on an array that is misbehaving.

misc_scan assumes that any device name found in the 'mapping' file
is usable. Usually it is but sometimes not, such as for inactive
devices.
Depending on it isn't really robust, when a name is found, check that
it exists. If not, fall back on map_dev.
This will allow "--detail --scan" to notice inactive devices.

Here, "large" means components are 100G or more. It is
usually beneficial to have write-intent bitmaps on such arrays.
They can be suppressed with --bitmap=none

We widely use a "devnum" which is 0 or +ve for md%d devices
and -ve for md_d%d devices.
But I want to be able to use md_%s device names.
So get rid of devnum (a number) and use devnm (a 32char string).
eg.
md0
md_d2
md_home

We still allow --offroot to be given - for compatibility with scripts
- but ignore it.
The whole point of --offroot is to get systemd to not auto-kill mdmon,
and we always want that.

--replace can be used to replace a device without completely failing
it. Once the replacement completes the device will be failed.
--with can indicate which of several spares to use.

mdadm --create /dev/md0 .... /dev/sda1:1024 /dev/sdb1:2048 ...
The size is in K unless a suffix: K M G is given.
The suffix 's' means sectors.

This can be used to over-ride the automatic assignment of
data offset.
For --create, it is useful to re-create old arrays where different
defaults applied.
For --grow it may be able to force a reshape in the reverse direction.

We will shortly introduce --data-offset= which is allowed to
be zero. We will want to use parse_size() so it needs to be
able to return '0' without it being an error.
So define INVALID_SECTORS to be an impossible value (currently '1')
and return and test for it consistently.

--update=bbl will add a bad block list to each device.
--update=no-bblk will remove the bad block list providing that it
is empty.

Both are impossible, and '1' allows size to be unsigned,
which is neater.
Also #define MAX_SIZE to be '1' to make it all more explicit.

The value of 'verbose' is sometimes mixed into 'brief', particularly
for Examine.
This is messy and confusing. So keep them separate.
'brief' still gets assumed when 'scan' is set, unless we are very
verbose.
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
If we change some functions to accept 'verbose', where <0 means to be
quiet, in place of 'quiet', then we will be able to merge
'quiet' and 'verbose' together for simplicity.

Rather than passing a long list of little flags etc to various
functions we will soon pass a small collection of structures.
This first step combines a collection of variables local to
'main' into a single structure.

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'.
