This might actually be total bullshit idk

quoting nevent1q…kk8y

Have a kernel regression in an ubuntu release and want to figure out when or if a fix is pushed to the mainline kernel?

let's say you have a crash like pictured. From the RIP instruction line, we can get the name of the offending function, and it seems that usually this function will be mentioned in the changelog once it's fixed, or terminonoly related to the actual error (like a null pointer dereference in my case) or be related to the module ( intel i915 drm video drivers).

Ubuntu kernel updates have changelogs at urls like this
http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/l/linux/linux_6.11.0-18.18/changelog

So if you know for example that when you were on 6.11.0-17, you can check each next release's changelog for soemthing close to it, and confirm by searching the bullet point in the mailing list.

Or you can just rollback your kernel to a known working version then try a new one every time a new one is released.
