Use action policy to keep recently-disconnected devices in the array.
When we find a device that was recently part of the array but is now
out of date (based on the event count) we might want to add it back in
(like --re-add) if the likely cause was a connection problem or we
might not if the likely cause was device failure.
So make this a policy issue: if action=re-add or better, try to re-add
any device that looks like it might be part of the array.
This applies:
when we assemble the array: old devices will be evicted by the
kernel and need to be re-added.
when we assemble the array during --incr for the same reason.
when we find a device that could be added to a running array.
This doesn't affect arrays with external metadata at all.
For such arrays:
When the container is assembled, the most recent instance of each
device is included without reference to whether it is too old or not.
Then the metadata handler must which slices of which devices to
include in which array and with what state. So the
->container_content should probably check the policy and compare the
sequence numbers/event counts.
When a device is added (--add) to a container with active arrays
we only add as a 'spare'. --re-add doesn't seem to be an option.
When a device is added with -I ->container_content gets another
chance to assess things again. So again it should check the policy.
This defines two distinct policies which apply to any disk (but not
partition) device reached through the pci device 0000:00:1f.2.
The policies are "action=ignore" which means certain actions will
ignore the device, and "domain=onboard" which means all such devices
as treated as being united under the name 'onboard'.

manipulate them. Future patches will actually use them.

Fix test for imsm prodigal member scenario
The 'container_enough' changes fliped the default from assembling
an array as soon as we possibly could, to assembling only when all
expected devices are present.
This broken 09imsm-assemble which expects the original default.
So change from "-I" to "-IR" to restore the expected behaviour.
Switch from /lib/init/rw to /dev for early-boot files.
It turns out that /lib/init/rw doesn't exist in early boot
like I thought. So give up on that idea and just use
/dev/.mdadm/ for files that must persist from early-boot
to regular boot.
While we attempt to use a lockfile to grant exclusive access to the
mapfile, our implementation is buggy. Specifically, we create a lockfile,
then lock it, at which point new instances can open the lockfile and
attempt to lock it, which will cause them to block. However, when we are
ready to unlock it, we unlink the file. This causes existing lock waiters
to get a lock on an unlinked inode while a different instance may now
create a new lockfile and get an exclusive lock on it.
There are several possible fixes. The chosen one is to test if
->s_nlink is zero after we get the lock and to retry if it isn't.
This means:
- failing to unlink a file doesn't leave a stale lock
- we can block waiting to get a lock rather than busy-waiting
- we don't need to leave a lock file permanently in place.
The watch option to udev tells udev to watch our mdadm device file for
close events and on a close it rechecks the device. This means that if,
for example, we use mdadm to --grow the array from a 4 disk to 5 disk
array, when mdadm closes the array, udev will re-read the superblock and
update its internal database with the new information. This can also be
used to cause udev to create new device special files if, for example, a
partitioning program is used to modify the partition table on the actual
md device and that program does not call the syscall to reread the
partition table.
One: a single character typo (of instead of or in an error printout)
Two: Audited usage of tfd file descriptor. Make sure that the tfd file
is always closed after usage, and that the tfd variable is reset to -1
if we are going to continue in our loop (not necessary if we know we
will return from our function without going through the dv loop again).
Fix all the confusion over directories once and for all.
We now have 3 directory definitions: mdmon directory for its pid and
sock files (compile time define, not changable at run time), mdmonitor
directory which is for the mdadm monitor mode pid file (can only be
passed in via command line at the time mdadm is invoked in monitor mode),
and the directory for the mdadm incremental assembly map file (compile
time define, not changable at run time). Only the mdadm map file still
hunts multiple locations, and the number of locations has been reduced
to /var/run and the compile time specified location. Re-use of similar
sounding defines that actually didn't denote their actual usage at
compile time made it more difficult for a person to know what affect
changing the compile time defines would have on the resulting programs.
This patch renames the various defines to clearly identify which item
the define affects. It also reduces the number of various directories
which will be searched for these files as this has lead to confusion
in mdadm and mdmon in terms of which files should take precedence when
files exist in multiple locations, etc. It's best if the person
compiling the program intentionally and with planning selects the
right directories to be used for the various purposes. Which directory
is right depends on which items you are talking about and what boot
loader your system uses and what initramfs generation program your
system uses. Because of the inter-dependency of all these items it
would typically be up to the distribution that mdadm is being integrated
into to select the correct values for these defines.
This number isn't meaningful for RAID0 as a different amount of space
might be used from each device.
It isn't meaningful for linear either, but already was not reported
for linear.
Detail doesn't report it either.

generally safest.

sysadmin.
Be moving 'load_super" before "conf_test_metadata" we left

mdmon: prevent allocations due to late binding
Current versions of glibc do not provide a useable interface to clone(2) as it
