VFS currently uses struct timespec timestamps which are not
y2038 safe.
Change all the struct inode timestamps accesses through
accessor functions only. This will help the switch over
to 64 bit times seamlessly.
Change all struct iattr and struct kstat timestamps to use
struct inode_timespec.
Change all struct timespec references to struct inode_timespec.
This will help the switch to struct timespec64 when
CONFIG_FS_USES_64BIT_TIME is enabled.
Use current_fs_time() instead of CURRENT_TIME macros to help
range and precesion checks.
Truncate and perform range checks before saving the
The current representation of inode times in struct inode, struct iattr,
and struct kstat use struct timespec. timespec is not y2038 safe.
Use struct inode_time for struct inode timestamp fields to maintain
same size for times across 32 bit and 64 bit architectures.
In addition, inode_time is
The first two patches contain the basic framework for the 64 bit time migration
for filesystems.
The next two patches shows how the framework has been adapted to vfs layer and
cifs filesystem.
There might be some minor changes or additions required as I start adapting to
other filesystems.
