Hi, Vipul If you want to know to which kernel release is a specified patch related, you can do it by git "describe --contains": git describe --contains e605b36575e896edd8161534550c9ea021b03bc0 v3.13-rc2~6^2 Regards, Rami Rosen http://ramirose.wix.com/ramirosen On Sun, Dec 22, 2013 at 1:26 PM, Alexandru Juncu <alexj@rosedu.org> wrote:

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).

rpm -q kernel --changelog

That won't actually list all the 10,000+ commits between kernel releases - it often won't even list all the vendor-applied patches that they've put on top of the Linus kernel. And it assumes an RPM based system.... As somebody else mentioned, 'git tag --contains (commit-id)' is the best bet here.
