Hi,

If I would like to find out if any particular build kernel has a particular patch applied to that kernel how to go about it?

Regards, Vipul.

Hello! You can do a git log on the kernel's repo and see when it was applied. Or do a git blame if you need a particular line of a file. If you want to match it to a release, track the tags in the repo. You can use the webinterface: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/ Just remember that because of the distributed nature of git and the kernel's development model, a particular patch is merged in many trees before reaching the de facto main linux repo (Linus' repo).
