POSIX is ambiguous on the behavior of timestamps for futimens, utimensat and utimes. Whether to return an error or silently clamp a timestamp beyond the range supported by the underlying filesystems is not clear.
POSIX.1 section for futimens, utimensat and utimes says: (http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/futimens.html) The file's relevant timestamp shall be set to the greatest value supported by the file system that is not greater than the specified time. If the tv_nsec field of a timespec structure has the special value UTIME_NOW, the file's relevant timestamp shall be set to the greatest value supported by the file system that is not greater than the current time. [EINVAL] A new file timestamp would be a value whose tv_sec component is not a value supported by the file system. The patch chooses to clamp the timestamps according to the filesystem timestamp ranges and does not return an error. This is in line with the behavior of utime syscall also since the POSIX page(http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/utime.html) for utime does not mention returning an error or clamping like above.
