Hi all,
While I am looking for a particular patch for any feature or bug
fix, i end up with online git repository(git.kernel.org), but there is no
info as to which kernel version(2.6.x), this particular patch was
introduced(in this case i know the commit number). Even with qgit, if i
search it with commit number, its still not clear, when this patch was
intoduced. The third method is to look into lkml, but its tedious to find
out where it exactly got introduced(or probably i am not using the right
search!).
Other thing which i wanted to know is how to know where does a particular
feature got introduced in mainline kernel(in this case i donno the commit
number, but i am searching for a feature) for example if i wanted to know
from which kernel onwards "inotify" feature is valid. how to look for such
feature.
Couple of patches are introduced for forward kernel verisons only, some bug
fix or enhancement, where to get patches for older kernel version(if there
are any?)
Thanks
Anuz
