How do i find the linux kernel version from which a certain feature was first incorporated. For example , How do i find the first kernel version which had support for GRO (generic receive offload) ?
Thanks, Amit

Kernel version is 2.6.29 refer http://lwn.net/Articles/358910/
Regards, Rohan Puri
Thanks Rohan, But still there should be some information in a changelog for each kernel release somewhere. Currently looking for such information in Linus's tree(https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/), but it seems like getting such kind of information is quite engaging.

You can always use a LXR to find when a feature was first incorporated. Here is a link to just one of the several LXR available: http://lxr.free-electrons.com/
You mean to say browse the code, no changelog or something ?
-Amit
Well I was not thinking of browsing the code, because that would take a long time. But I was thinking of an identifier search which is much faster and you can cover several kernel versions in a lot less time than it would take to read a changelog of every release looking for a feature.
