Based on the discussion, here is how I propose to proceed: 1. Series for timestamp range check and clamping 2. Bug fixing patches like change all CURRENT_TIME use cases to current_fs_time() 3. Patches for vfs to use timespec64 internally (maybe a series, if required) 4. Patches that change all fs that use vfs APIs using timestamp arguments (not a series) 5. Change individual fs to use timespec64 (not a series) 6. Change back whatever time conversion APIs left in vfs or individual fs (maybe a series, if required) So, I don't see a need for submitting another series as all the changes now are handled on a case by case basis and no longer have a generic theme. If everyone's in sync then I can proceed with the above plan. -Deepa -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
