As reported by Jordan Russell: When nanosecond timestamp resolution isn't supported on an ext4 partition (inode size = 128), stat() appears to be returning uninitialized garbage in the nanosecond component of timestamps. EXT4_INODE_GET_XTIME should zero out tv_nsec when EXT4_FITS_IN_INODE evaluates to false.
