In some cases pcie_get_minimum_link() returned misleading information because it found the slowest link and the narrowest link without considering the total bandwidth of the link. For example, consider a path with these two links: - 16.0 GT/s x1 link (16.0 * 10^9 * 128 / 130) * 1 / 8 = 1969 MB/s - 2.5 GT/s x16 link ( 2.5 * 10^9 * 8 / 10) * 16 / 8 = 4000 MB/s The available bandwidth of the path is limited by the 16 GT/s link to about 1969 MB/s, but pcie_get_minimum_link() returned 2.5 GT/s x1, which corresponds to only 250 MB/s. Callers should use pcie_print_link_status() instead, or pcie_bandwidth_available() if they need more detailed information. Remove pcie_get_minimum_link() since there are no callers left.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
