![]() This is a late set of changes from Deepa Dinamani doing an automated treewide conversion of the inode and iattr structures from 'timespec' to 'timespec64', to push the conversion from the VFS layer into the individual file systems. There were no conflicts between this and the contents of linux-next until just before the merge window, when we saw multiple problems: - A minor conflict with my own y2038 fixes, which I could address by adding another patch on top here. - One semantic conflict with late changes to the NFS tree. I addressed this by merging Deepa's original branch on top of the changes that now got merged into mainline and making sure the merge commit includes the necessary changes as produced by coccinelle. - A trivial conflict against the removal of staging/lustre. - Multiple conflicts against the VFS changes in the overlayfs tree. These are still part of linux-next, but apparently this is no longer intended for 4.18 [1], so I am ignoring that part. As Deepa writes: The series aims to switch vfs timestamps to use struct timespec64. Currently vfs uses struct timespec, which is not y2038 safe. The series involves the following: 1. Add vfs helper functions for supporting struct timepec64 timestamps. 2. Cast prints of vfs timestamps to avoid warnings after the switch. 3. Simplify code using vfs timestamps so that the actual replacement becomes easy. 4. Convert vfs timestamps to use struct timespec64 using a script. This is a flag day patch. Next steps: 1. Convert APIs that can handle timespec64, instead of converting timestamps at the boundaries. 2. Update internal data structures to avoid timestamp conversions. Thomas Gleixner adds: I think there is no point to drag that out for the next merge window. The whole thing needs to be done in one go for the core changes which means that you're going to play that catchup game forever. Let's get over with it towards the end of the merge window.
