When the user creates a device with a name that contains whitespace,
mdadm timeouts and throws an error. This issue is caused by udev, which
truncates /dev/md link until the first whitespace.
This patch introduces prohibition of characters other than A-Za-z0-9.-_
in the device name. Also, it prohibits using leading "-" in device name,
so name won't be confused with cli parameter.
Set of allowed characters is taken from POSIX 3.280 Portable Character
Set. Also, device name length now is limited to NAME_MAX.
In some places, there are other requirements for string length (e.g. size
up to MD_NAME_MAX for device name). This routine is made to follow POSIX
and other, more strict limitations should be checked separately.
We are aware of the risk of regression in exceptional cases (as
escape_devname function is removed) that should be fixed by updating
the array name.
The POSIX validation is added for:
- 'name' parameter in every mode.
- first devlist entry, for Build, Create, Assemble, Manage, Grow.
- config entries, both devname and "name=".
