Is there any chance that this can be revisited perhaps? This is still
flooding my dmesg just because I have that (curde?) mechanism in place to
remount the backup device after the hourly backup-run to read-only. Sure,
I could omit that ("Doc, it hurts when I do that", as Al would comment),
but that's really the only repeating message that gets triggered because
of this. 1067 messages in ~60 days of uptime :-|
Does the patch below make any sense, would that work?
Please reconsider,
Christian.

commit c9a5338b4930cdf99073042de0717db43d7b75be

Commit f8b92ba67c5d ("mount: Add mount warning for impending timestamp
expiry") resp.
0ecee6699064 ("fix use-after-free of mount in mnt_warn_timestamp_expiry()")
introduced
a pr_warn message and the following gets sent to dmesg on every remount:
[...] filesystem being remounted at /mnt supports timestamps until 2038
(0x7fffffff)
When file systems are remounted a couple of times per day (e.g. rw/ro for
backup
purposes), dmesg gets flooded with these messages. Change pr_warn into
pr_debug
to make it stop.
