[PATCH] coda: stop using 'struct timespec' in user API

From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Tue Jun 19 2018 - 11:39:14 EST


We exchange file timestamps with user space using psdev device
read/write operations with a fixed but architecture specific binary
layout.

On 32-bit systems, this uses a 'timespec' structure that is defined by
the C library to contain two 32-bit values for seconds and nanoseconds.
As we get ready for the year 2038 overflow of the 32-bit signed seconds,
the kernel now uses 64-bit timestamps internally, and user space will
do the same change by changing the 'timespec' definition in the future.

Unfortunately, this breaks the layout of the coda_vattr structure, so
we need to redefine that in terms of something that does not change.
I'm introducing a new 'struct vtimespec' structure here that keeps
the existing layout, and the same change has to be done in the coda
user space copy of linux/coda.h before anyone can use that on a 32-bit
architecture with 64-bit time_t.

An open question is what should happen to actual times past y2038,
as they are now truncated to the last valid date when sent to user
space, and interpreted as pre-1970 times when a timestamp with the
MSB set is read back into the kernel. Alternatively, we could
change the new timespec64_to_coda()/coda_to_timespec64() functions
to use a different interpretation and extend the available range
further to the future by disallowing past timestamps. This would
require more changes in the user space side though.
