Subject: [PATCH] mdadm: block creation with long names

This fixes buffer overflows in create_mddev(). It prohibits
creation with not supported names for DDF and native. For IMSM,
mdadm will do silent cut to 16 later.

+The max length md-device name is limited to 32 characters.
+Different metadata types have more strict limitation
+(like IMSM where only 16 characters are allowed).
+For that reason, long name could be truncated or rejected, it depends on metadata policy.

 As devices are added, they are checked to see if they contain RAID
 superblocks or filesystems.  They are also checked to see if the variance in
 device size exceeds 1%.
