kernel 2.4.18 and ext2online patch

I want to resize fs without umounting it and from reading the LVM-HOWTO, you have to patch your kernel with the ext2online patch. So How do I know if kernel 2.4.18 and later version have been patched or not? Thanks.

Get the patch diffs and go to your kernel source tree.
Do a patch -p(n) < patch.diff

You'll get a message if the patch is already applied.

HTH,
Paul
