Subject: Re: [PATCH] Subtract min_free_kbytes from dirtyable memory

(In the teach a person to fish category...)

If you know the file and line number where a bug/regression was
introduced, the "git blame" command is a great tool for identifying
the commit which changed a given line of code.  Then use "git tag
--contains <commit it>" to see when a particular commit was introduced
into the mainline kernel.
