commit4f6a6bed0bupstream. Patch series "simplify split calculation", v3. This patch (of 3): The current calculation for splitting nodes tries to enforce a minimum span on the leaf nodes. This code is complex and never worked correctly to begin with, due to the min value being passed as 0 for all leaves. The calculation should just split the data as equally as possible between the new nodes. Note that b_end will be one more than the data, so the left side is still favoured in the calculation. The current code may also lead to a deficient node by not leaving enough data for the right side of the split. This issue is also addressed with the split calculation change.
