the new code for defaulting chunksizes didn't work quite right
- default was set to late in super1/super0/ddf
- defaults would over-ride values of '0' imposed by some levels
- default value wasn't applied to size properly.
Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
When chunk size is not set from command line we need to guess it
depending on metadata given on command line or found on listed devices.
Validate_geometry sets the default for it's metadata if chunk is not set.
For external metadata chunk is set only when creating in a container.
For imsm validate_geometry_imsm_orom is responsible for finding default
chunk depending on container metadata loaded. Container will already know
which controller it is attached to, and have this controllers orom
available.
do_default_chunk indicates that we need to find default chunk and
if validate_geometry fails for some metadata it tells us to reset chunk
that may have been set.
Current solution would set default chunk correctly for imsm only if
container device was given on command line. With the list of devices
chunk was always set to 512.

When we force-assemble an array which is in the middle of a reshape,
we should repeat the reshape of any parts that aren't recorded in
the oldest superblock.
This is unlikely to make a significant difference, but could make
a small difference, and is safer.

We previously closed all 'fds' associated with an array in
write_init_super .. sometimes, and sometimes at bad times.
This isn't neat and free_super is a better place to close them.
So make sure free_super always closes the fds that the metadata
manager kept hold of, and stop closing them in write_init_super.
Also add a few more calls to free_super to make sure they really do
get closed.

This allows the info for a single array to be extracted,

For consistency, implement container_content for super0 and super1,

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.

The 4K superblock can be as close as 64K from the end
of the device. As the bitmap (with header) lives after
the superblock (with 0.90 metadata) there could be as
little as 60K of space.
So limit the bitmaps to 59.5K, and only write 60K including
the header.
The bug fixed here means that bitmaps cannot be created
on devices which are exact multiples of 64K in size

This commit introduces DEFAULT_OLD_METADATA as a preprocessor
definition. If defined, it causes mdadm to assume metadata version 0.9
as default. If not defined, version 1.x (currently 1.2) is used as
default.
The man page mdadm.8 is also modified to reflect the chosen default.
The selftests will not work if the old default is chosen.
This patch was requested by Debian so they could distribute a current
mdadm together with boot loaders that only understand 0.90 metadata
for md-raid.
Preferred usage is simply
make DEFAULT_OLD_METADATA=yes

If the metadata is an empty string, it means the array in question
does not use metadata. This comes from sysfs_read finding "none" in
"metadata_version", then super_by_fd noticing the vers == -1, and so
just using the ->text_version (which is empty).
In this case we want to use the super0 metadata handler routines
because that is what we always used to do before
commit 7d5c3964cc
And that commit was wrong because "" doesn't mean "default" and so
should not have been changed at the same time.

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.

Because ---examine --brief, or --detail --brief are
often used to create mdadm.conf, and because people don't want to
have to update their mdadm.conf unnecessarily, we don't want to
include information that might change.
And now that level changing is supported, that is almost everything
but UUID.
So move some more fields into the "Only print with --verbose" class.

Certain operations (Detail.c mainly) would print out the metadata of
an array in a format that the scan operation in super0.c and super1.c

Use a consistent format, but also modify the super0 and super1 match
methods to accept the other format without complaint.

Showing e.g.
near=1, far=2
for the 'far2' layout of raid10 is confusing even though there is a
sense in which is it correct.
Make it less confusing by only printing whichever number is not 1.
If both are 1, make that clear too (i.e. no redundancy).
Using buffered IO risks non-atomic updates to parts of the
device that we don't actually want to write to. This isn't in
general safe.
So switch to O_DIRECT for all that IO and make sure we have
properly aligned buffers.
When loading the metadata for a subarray (super_by_fd), we set
->subarray to be the name read from md/metadata_version so that
getinfo_super can return info about the correct array.
With this we can differentiate between a container and
an array within the container by looking at ->subarray[0].
