Free some malloced memory that wasn't being freed.

2009-10-22T00:00:56+00:00

As mdadm is normally a short-lived program it isn't always necessary
to free memory that was allocated, as the 'exit()' call will
automatically free everything.  But it is more obviously correct if
the 'free' is there.
So this patch add a few calls to 'free'

mdopen: only use 'dev' as chosen name if it is a full path.

2009-10-19T06:11:15+00:00

Otherwise using names like "r0" causes problem.  They are
handled sufficiently by other paths in the code.

create_mddev: don't replace /dev/mdX with /dev/md/X

2009-05-11T05:58:44+00:00

If someone creates/assemble an array called "/dev/md0", don't force
it to be "/dev/md/0".  Doing so isn't really necessary and it
likely to confuse people.

create_dev - allow array names like mdX and /dev/mdX to appear 'numeric'

2009-05-11T05:16:47+00:00

When choosing the minor number to use with an array, we currently base
the number of the 'name' stored in the metadata if that name is
numeric.
Extend that so that if it looks like a number md device name (/dev/md0
or just md0 or even /dev/md/0), then we use the number at the end to
suggest a minor number.

The means that if someone creates and array with "--name md0" or even
"--name /dev/md0" it will continue to do what they expect.

mdopen: be more careful when adding digit to names.

2009-03-10T05:28:22+00:00

If we need to add digits to a name to make it unique, but don't have
to add '_', we need to avoid adding a digit immediately after a digit.
So if the last character of the name is a digit, add the '_' anyway.

mdopen: typo in buffer-length for a sprintf.

2008-11-07T03:46:51+00:00

That '10000' should have been '1000'.  Make it a 'sizeof' to avoid
such carelessness.

mdopen: only let numeric name set minor number if it doesn't cause a conflict.

2008-11-04T09:54:50+00:00

So if the array with minor number matching the name of a new array
already exists, just assemble with a different minor number.

mdopen: use small sequence number for uniquifying array names.

2008-11-04T09:51:12+00:00

Rather than appending the md minor number, we now append a small
sequence number to make sure name in /dev/md/ that aren't LOCAL are
unique.  As the map file is locked while we do this, we are sure
of no losing any races.
