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
