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.

Now that mdmon responds fairly well to SIGTERM, stop lying to
systemd about being started on the initrd.
Note that if mdmon is rerun (--takeover) for some reason, and systemd
chooses to kill processes before remounting / readonly, then the
unmount will hang.
If systemd ever lets us tell it that we don't want to be killed until
root is readonly, then we should do that.

The purpose od devid2devnm is to return a kernel name of an
md device, whether that device is a whole device or a partition,
we want the whole device. md4, never md4p2.
In one place I was using devid2devnm where I really wanted the
partition if there was one ... and wasn't really interested in it
being an md device.
So introduce a new 'devid2kname' for that case.

Currently the extra space to leave before the data in the array
is calculated in two separate places, and they can be inconsistent.
Instead, do it all in validate_geometry. This records the
'data_offset' chosen which all other devices then use.
'write_init_super' now just uses the value rather than doing all the
calculations again.
This results in more consistent numbers.
Also, load_super sets st->data_offset so that it is used by "--add",
so the new device has a data offset matching a pre-existing device.

Having a fix time for a wait is clumsy and can make us
wait much too long.
So use mdstat_wait and keep the mdstat_fd open.
This requires an 'mdstat_close' so it doesn't stay open
forever.

When "containers" appears on the "DEVICES" line (which is does by
default), use names from the mdadm map file instead of kernel names,
when possible.
This mean that the name will be more likely to appear in mdadm.conf
and so more likely to match "container=" tags.

To be able to revert-reshape of raid4/5/6 which is changing
the number of devices, the reshape must has been stopped on a multiple
of the old and new stripe sizes.
The kernel only enforces the new stripe size multiple.
So we enforce the old-stripe-size multiple by careful use of
"sync_max" and monitoring "reshape_position".

Some people want to create truely enormous arrays.
As we sometimes need to hold one file descriptor for each
device, this can hit the NOFILE limit.

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

raid10 currently uses the 'backup_blocks' field to store something
else: a minimum offset change.
This is bad practice, we will shortly need to have both for RAID5/6,
so make a separate field.

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.

With the 'devnm' infrastructure fixed, it is quite easy to support
names like "md_home" for md arrays.
The currently defaults to "off" and can be enabled in mdadm.conf with
CREATE names=yes
This is incase other tools get confused by the new names.

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

The whole point of --offroot is to get systemd to not auto-kill mdmon,

Some arrays (raid10) never need a backup file, so during assembly
we can avoid the whole Grow_continue check in that case.
Achieve this using a flag set by the metadata handler.
Also get "mdadm -I" to fail if a backup process would be
needed. It currently does fail as the kernel rejects things,
but it is nicer to have this explicit.

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.

An error in parse_size() should be reported by 0, not -1,
because -1 is changed to the max value of unsigned long long
during calculations of size (e.g. at mdadm.c:412).
A negative value of size should be reported as error
(e.g. size equal -1 has been changed to the max value of
unsigned long long so far).

The value of 'verbose' is sometimes mixed into 'brief', particularly

This is messy and confusing. So keep them separate.
'brief' still gets assumed when 'scan' is set, unless we are very
verbose.
