Try from the root of the source tree:
patch --dry-run -p1 < some.patch.file.patch
If it gives a run of Patching filename.c with no errors, you are ok to go
and rerun the command without --dry-run. You might need to change -p1
to -p0, depending on how the patch was created.
--dry-run is a GNU patch extension IIRC. If your patch program does not
support it, make a backup of your source tree first.
