The patch titled ext2/3/4: fix file date underflow on ext2 3 filesystems on 64 bit systems has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is ext2-3-4-fix-file-date-underflow-on-ext2-3-filesystems-on-64-bit-systems.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: ext2/3/4: fix file date underflow on ext2 3 filesystems on 64 bit systems From: Markus Rechberger <Markus.Rechberger@xxxxxxx> Taken from http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5079 signed long ranges from -2.147.483.648 to 2.147.483.647 on x86 32bit 10000011110110100100111110111101 .. -2,082,844,739 10000011110110100100111110111101 .. 2,212,122,557 <- this currently gets stored on the disk but when converting it to a 64bit signed long value it loses its sign and becomes positive.
