okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and the page is literally called xe_gt_sriov...ample_period(9) — yes, that's its actual government name, the kernel truncated it like it ran out of characters 😭 don't worry, we know what it means.

we're looking at xe_gt_sriov_pf_policy_get_sample_period — a getter. a little getter. it just reads a policy value and hands it to you, no drama, no side quests 💅
