Fixes kernel.org bug #23732. Background: ext4 stores time as a 34-bit quantity; 2 bits in some extra bits unneeded for nanoseconds in the inode, and 32 bits in the seconds field. On systems with 64-bit time_t, the EXT4_*INODE_GET_XTIME() code incorrectly sign-extended the low 32-bits of the seconds quantity before ORing in the 2 "epoch" bits from nanoseconds. This patch ORs in the 2 higher bits, then sign extends the 34-bit signed number to 64 bits. Signed-off-by: Conrad Meyer <cse.cem@xxxxxxxxx> --- Patch against next-20140328. Note, the on-disk format has always been written correctly. It was just interpreted incorrectly.
