Probably because the original file was pre-processed by some
tool, both i40e.rst and iavf.rst files are using this character:

	- U+2013 ('–'): EN DASH

meaning an hyphen when calling a command line application, which
is obviously wrong. So, replace them by an hyphen, ensuring
that it will be properly displayed as literals when building
the documentation.

pull-request: bpf-next 2021-04-28

The main changes are:

1) Add link detach and following re-attach for trampolines, from Jiri Olsa.

2) Use kernel's "binary printf" lib for formatted output BPF helpers (which
   avoids the needs for variadic argument handling), from Florent Revest.

3) Fix verifier 64 to 32 bit min/max bound propagation, from Daniel Borkmann.

4) Convert cpumap to use netif_receive_skb_list(), from Lorenzo Bianconi.

5) Add generic batched-ops support to percpu array map, from Pedro Tammela.

6) Various CO-RE relocation BPF selftests fixes, from Andrii Nakryiko.

7) Misc doc rst fixes, from Hengqi Chen.

<title>can: add a note that RECV_OWN_MSGS frames are subject to filtering</title>

Some parts of the documentation may lead the reader to think that the
socket's own frames are always received when CAN_RAW_RECV_OWN_MSGS is
enabled, but all frames are subject to filtering.

As explained by Marc Kleine-Budde:

On TX complete of a CAN frame it's pushed into the RX path of the
networking stack, along with the information of the originating socket.

Then the CAN frame is delivered into AF_CAN, where it is passed on to
all registered receivers depending on filters. One receiver is the
sending socket in CAN_RAW. Then in CAN_RAW the it is checked if the
sending socket has RECV_OWN_MSGS enabled.

ETHTOOL_MSG_MODULE_EEPROM_GET_REPLY is sadly a rather long name

<id>be85dbfeb37c8c4d4344da2ee594d78034b82489</id>
<content type='text'>
Similarly to pause statistics add stats for FEC.

The IEEE standard mandates two sets of counters:
 - 30.5.1.1.17 aFECCorrectedBlocks
 - 30.5.1.1.18 aFECUncorrectableBlocks
where block is a block of bits FEC operates on.
Each of these counters is defined per lane (PCS instance).

Multiple vendors provide number of corrected _bits_ rather
than/as well as blocks.

This set adds the 2 standard-based block counters and a extra
one for corrected bits.

Counters are exposed to user space via netlink in new attributes.
Each attribute carries an array of u64s, first element is
the total count, and the following ones are a per-lane break down.

Much like with pause stats the operation will not fail when driver
does not implement the get_fec_stats callback (nor can the driver
fail the operation by returning an error). If stats can't be
reported the relevant attributes will be empty.
