/* Monitor a set of active md arrays - all of which share the
 * same metadata - and respond to events that require
 * metadata update.
 *
 * New arrays are detected by another thread which allocates
 * required memory and attaches the data structure to our list.
 *
 * Events:
 *  Array stops.
 *    This is detected by array_state going to 'clear' or 'inactive'.
 *    while we thought it was active.
 *    Response is to mark metadata as clean and 'clear' the array(??)
 *  write-pending
 *    array_state if 'write-pending'
 *    We mark metadata as 'dirty' then set array to 'active'.
 *  active_idle
 *    Either ignore, or mark clean, then mark metadata as clean.
 *
 *  device fails
 *    detected by rd-N/state reporting "faulty"
 *    mark device as 'failed' in metadata, let the kernel release the
 *    device by writing '-blocked' to rd/state, and finally write 'remove' to
 *    rd/state.  Before a disk can be replaced it must be failed and removed
 *    from all container members, this will be preemptive for the other
 *    arrays... safe?
 *
 *  sync completes
 *    sync_action was 'resync' and becomes 'idle' and resync_start becomes
 *    MaxSector
 *    Notify metadata that sync is complete.
 *
 *  recovery completes
 *    sync_action changes from 'recover' to 'idle'
 *    Check each device state and mark metadata if 'faulty' or 'in_sync'.
 *
 *  deal with resync
 *    This only happens on finding a new array... mdadm will have set
 *    'resync_start' to the correct value.  If 'resync_start' indicates that an
 *    resync needs to occur set the array to the 'active' state rather than the
 *    initial read-auto state.
 *
 *
 *
 * We wait for a change (poll/select) on array_state, sync_action, and
 * each rd-X/state file.
 * When we get any change, we check everything.  So read each state file,
 * then decide what to do.
 *
 * The core action is to write new metadata to all devices in the array.
 * This is done at most once on any wakeup.
 * After that we might:
 *   - update the array_state
 *   - set the role of some devices.
 *   - request a sync_action
