2012-04-02dm persistent data: fix btree rebalancing after removeJoe Thornber
commit b0988900bae9ecf968a8a8d086a9eec671a9517a upstream. When we remove an entry from a node we sometimes rebalance with it's two neighbours. This wasn't being done correctly; in some cases entries have to move all the way from the right neighbour to the left neighbour, or vice versa. This patch pretty much re-writes the balancing code to fix it. This code is barely used currently; only when you delete a thin device, and then only if you have hundreds of them in the same pool. Once we have discard support, which removes mappings, this will be used much more heavily.

2011-11-07drivers/md: change module.h -> export.h in persistent-data/dm-*Paul Gortmaker
For the files which are not themselves modular, we can change them to include only the smaller export.h since all they are doing is looking for EXPORT_SYMBOL.

2011-10-31dm: add persistent data libraryJoe Thornber
The persistent-data library offers a re-usable framework for the storage and management of on-disk metadata in device-mapper targets. It's used by the thin-provisioning target in the next patch and in an upcoming hierarchical storage target.
