💅 convert_state(9) — a Kernel API Manual moment ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for convert_state(9), and no cap this one is actually kind of iconic once you get the vibe 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

convert_state — converts the peer's view of the cluster state to our point of view 🫶

like, the peer sees the cluster one way, we see it another way, and this function is the lil translator that makes them match. it's giving diplomacy, honestly 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

union drbd_state convert_state (union drbd_state ps );

yes bestie, that's the whole signature, copy it exactly, don't be weird about the spacing 🙈

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • ps — the state as seen by the peer 👀 that's it, that's the argument, it's the peer's whole perspective of the cluster state and we're about to flip it into ours 💅

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

go look at the kernel file ./drivers/block/drbd/drbd_receiver.c for the whole scene, and also these absolute icons:

iykyk, the whole drbd family is lowkey serving 🧚

fr fr bestie, this page is short and sweet — but don't let the length fool you, that peer-state-to-our-state conversion is main character energy ⭐

okay that's the whole page, mwah 💜 this gem came from ./drivers/block/drbd, dated October 2026, and it's literally the convert_state(9) page — slay, bye 🎀✨
