mpi3mr_conve...hy_link_rate(9)

✨ mpi3mr_conve...hy_link_rate(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the mpi3mr_conve...hy_link_rate(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — yes the header truncates it, no we're not gonna be weird about it, the whole thing is mpi3mr_convert_phy_link_rate and it's lowkey adorable. it's a tiny little translator function and honestly it's giving "one job, does it well" main character energy 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

mpi3mr_convert_phy_link_rate — literally it's just a name, there's no fancy one-liner in the original, and we respect that. it converts a phy link rate. that's the whole vibe 🦋

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

enum sas_linkrate mpi3mr_convert_phy_link_rate (u8 link_rate );

like, look at her. one arg, one return type, no notes. iconic ✨

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• link_rate — the link rate, expressed in the format the MPI header defines. not the SAS format! the MPI one!! this is the before picture, bestie 🫶

---

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

okay so here's the tea: link_rate comes in all dressed up in mpi format, and this function converts it into the form the sas_transport layer wants. it's a glow-up montage. it's a translation. it's the vibe check between two different worlds 🌈

no cap, that's the entire described behaviour — convert link_rate from mpi format into sas_transport layer form. we're not inventing extra steps, that would be rude 😭

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

it hands you back a valid SAS transport layer defined link rate. a real one. a legit one. go forth and use it 💜

ngl this one's short and sweet — no warnings, no bugs section, no deprecation drama. just a convert and a return. take the win, bestie 🍓
