X-Git-Tag: v1.1.0~677 X-Git-Url: http://git.onelab.eu/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6d6266e6c9e387052e34f8434ee1d80690bff75d;p=sliver-openvswitch.git brcompat: Simplify generation of bridge ID. Currently we use a fairly complicated method of generating the bridge ID, since the actual struct is only available in a header file private to the Linux bridge. The current method appears to be correct but is difficult to reason about. This replaces it with a simple memcpy, which is more analogous to what the Linux bridge does. Flagged by sparse.
