Hello everyone, I am an absolute newbie to patching and kernel
implementations. I am trying to patch the web10g patch to a linux kernel but
have had no luck. I have downloaded the kernel images from kernel.org:

https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/

I have miserably tried to patch the images 3.17, 3.14, and 3.11, all of them
getting errors on many hunks, for example:

This same thing happens to all the above versions. Has someone been able to
patch a kernel with a diff that already has the tcp_estats_nl kernel module?

thank you!
