Thanks. To make this invariant really clear, I added a comment: * * (As usually true for value/mask pairs in OVS, any 1-bit in a value must have * a corresponding 1-bit in its mask.) */ On Wed, Apr 15, 2015 at 12:36:40PM -0700, Andy Zhou wrote: > Thanks for explaining. Given av == av & am i

Thanks for explaining. Given av == av & am is a prerequisite, this function looks fine. For the patch: Acked-by: Andy Zhou On Wed, Apr 15, 2015 at 11:35 AM, Ben Pfaff wrote: > This combination of av with am is invalid because av has a 1-bit (its > least-significant bit) where am has a 0-bit.

2015-04-15 Thread Ben Pfaff
This combination of av with am is invalid because av has a 1-bit (its least-significant bit) where am has a 0-bit. Suppose that we pretend that am is instead 1001, which would make av/am valid. Then av/am requires the least-significant bit to be 1 and bv/bm requires it to be 0. This is the "impo

assume av=1001, am = 1000, bv=1000, bm=1001. Should dv's last bit be zero? if not, then my interpretation of what this function does is wrong. On Mon, Apr 6, 2015 at 9:31 PM, Ben Pfaff wrote: > On Mon, Apr 06, 2015 at 03:28:37PM -0700, Andy Zhou wrote: >> On Tue, Mar 31, 2015 at 9:52 PM, Ben Pfa
