How to apply kernel patch

[Pawel Michalski]

Hi all,
I am using now pve-manager/5.2-1/0fcd7879 (running kernel: 4.15.17-1-pve).
4.15.17-1-pve #1 SMP PVE 4.15.17-9 (Wed, 9 May 2018 13:31:43 +0200) x86_64 GNU/Linux

I would like to apply kernel patch for qlcnic driver, from
hxxps://www[dot]systutorials[dot]com/linux-kernels/774460/qlcnic-fix-tunnel-offload-for-82xx-adapters-linux-4-9-136/
hxxps://git[dot]kernel[dot]org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/diff/?id=4bd7ef0b033721b659b9357057e76d1ced95c1da

What is the right way to apply it on pve-kernel (pve-kernel-4.15.17-1-pve package)?

PS. Sorry for hxxps link format, but as a new user I can not publish external links.

Why do you want to patch a totally outdated Proxmox VE kernel?

Current kernel:
pve-kernel-4.15.18-9-pve: 4.15.18-30

See https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Downlo...Proxmox_Virtual_Environment_5.x_to_latest_5.2
