XFS will clamp any out-of-bounds value to the nearest representable
number. For example, if you tried to extend a quota's grace expiration
to the year 2600, it set the expiration to 2486, similar to what the vfs
does for timestamps now. If you try to set the default grace period to,
say, 100 years, it will clamp that to 68 years (2^31-1).
(I doubt anyone cares to set a 60+ year grace period, but as some
apparently immortal person claims to be playing a 600-year musical
score[1] perhaps we will need to revisit that...)
