Well, I remembered seeing one recently so I searched the archives of the linux-doc mailing list (https://lore.kernel.org/linux-doc/). In the search box I entered: b:"compatibility" but that's not going to work for a general case. For other patches to the same file, I would change the search argument to b:"Documentation/kernel-hacking/hacking.rst" HTH. -- ~Randy
