https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/09324d32d2a0843e66652a087da6f77924358e62#diff-a3fadbb3daba4dd336ddc1846df3e6c8

Can also look at kernel.org.

I just dealt with this with the TRIM error and its patch.

The easiest way is to look at the patch file(s) being changed, and then go to a 
web mirror to check that file's history.

Example:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2019-May/msg00104.html
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commits/master/drivers/md/dm.c
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/51b86f9a8d1c4bb4e3862ee4b4c5f46072f7520d#diff-309bcac7077137714d954d0a75c854d1

If you go to the diff for 5.1.4-5.1.5 (GitHub does not have these tags) you can 
see this patch was included in the release:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/diff/?id=v5.1.5=v5.1.4=3=0=0

[gentoo-user] Tracking kernel patches

2019-05-25 Thread Adam Carter
I need to use this patch;
https://marc.info/?l=linux-block=155772952511144=2

Is there some way to track its progress toward inclusion in the stable
release?
