    ocfs2: dlmglue: clean up timestamp handling · 3a3d1e51
    Arnd Bergmann authored
    The handling of timestamps outside of the 1970..2038 range in the dlm
    glue is rather inconsistent: on 32-bit architectures, this has always
    wrapped around to negative timestamps in the 1902..1969 range, while on
    64-bit kernels all timestamps are interpreted as positive 34 bit numbers
    in the 1970..2514 year range.
    
    Now that the VFS code handles 64-bit timestamps on all architectures, we
    can make the behavior more consistent here, and return the same result
    that we had on 64-bit already, making the file system y2038 safe in the
    process.  Outside of dlmglue, it already uses 64-bit on-disk timestamps
    anway, so that part is fine.
    
    For consistency, I'm changing ocfs2_pack_timespec() to clamp anything
    outside of the supported range to the minimum and maximum values.  This
    avoids a possible ambiguity of values before 1970 in particular, which
    used to be interpreted as times at the end of the 2514 range previously.
