Subject: vswitch: Improve documentation for datapath_id column.
X-Git-Url: https://pintos-os.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=78c54bded9a5b88977ba3dbe1d5b877248ad34b2;p=openvswitch

vswitch: Improve documentation for datapath_id column.

It was insufficiently documented that the vswitch, not the user, sets the
datapath_id column, which confused people (including me).  This commit
fixes the problem.
