The series is an update and a more complete version of the previously posted series at https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/20180122020426.2988-1-deepa.kernel@xxxxxxxxx/ Thanks to Arnd Bergmann for doing a few preliminary reviews. They helped me fix a few issues I had overlooked. The limits (sometimes granularity also) for the filesystems updated here are according to the following table: File system Time type Start year Expiration year Granularity cramfs fixed 0 0 romfs fixed 0 0 pstore ascii seconds (27 digit ascii) S64_MIN S64_MAX NSEC_PER_USEC coda INT64 S64_MIN S64_MAX 1 omfs 64-bit milliseconds 0 U64_MAX/ 1000 NSEC_PER_MSEC befs unsigned 48-bit seconds 0 0xffffffffffff alloc_super bfs unsigned 32-bit seconds 0 U32_MAX alloc_super efs unsigned 32-bit seconds 0 U32_MAX alloc_super ext2 signed 32-bit seconds S32_MIN S32_MAX alloc_super ext3 signed 32-bit seconds S32_MIN S32_MAX alloc_super ext4 (old) signed 32-bit seconds S32_MIN S32_MAX alloc_super ext4 (extra) 34-bit seconds, 30-bit ns S32_MIN 0x37fffffff 1 freevxfs u32 secs/usecs 0 U32_MAX alloc_super jffs2 unsigned 32-bit seconds 0 U32_MAX alloc_super jfs unsigned 32-bit seconds/ns 0 U32_MAX 1 minix unsigned 32-bit seconds 0 U32_MAX alloc_super orangefs u64 seconds 0 U64_MAX alloc_super qnx4 unsigned 32-bit seconds 0 U32_MAX alloc_super qnx6 unsigned 32-bit seconds 0 U32_MAX alloc_super reiserfs unsigned 32-bit seconds 0 U32_MAX alloc_super squashfs unsigned 32-bit seconds 0 U32_MAX alloc_super ufs1 signed 32-bit seconds S32_MIN S32_MAX NSEC_PER_SEC ufs2 signed 64-bit seconds/u32 ns S64_MIN S64_MAX 1 xfs signed 32-bit seconds/ns S32_MIN S32_MAX 1 ceph unsigned 32-bit second/ns 0 U32_MAX 1000 sysv unsigned 32-bit seconds 0 U32_MAX alloc_super affs u32 day, min, ticks 1978 u32_max days NSEC_PER_SEC nfsv2 unsigned 32-bit seconds/ns 0 U32_MAX 1 nfsv3 unsigned 32-bit seconds/ns 0 U32_MAX 1000 nfsv4 u64 seconds/u32 ns S64_MIN S64_MAX 1000 isofs u8 year since 1900 (fixable) 1900 2155 alloc_super hpfs unsigned 32-bit seconds 1970 2106 alloc_super fat 7-bit years, 2s resolution 1980 2107 cifs (smb) 7-bit years 1980 2107 cifs (modern) 64-bit 100ns since 1601 1601 30828 adfs 40-bit cs since 1900 1900 2248 9p (9P2000) unsigned 32-bit seconds 1970 2106 9p (9P2000.L) signed 64-bit seconds, ns 1970 S64_MAX Granularity column filled in by the alloc_super() in the above table indicates that the granularity is NSEC_PER_SEC. Note that anything not mentioned above still has the default limits S64_MIN..S64_MAX. The patches in the series are as structured below: 1. Add vfs support to maintain the limits per filesystem. 2. Add a new timestamp_truncate() api for clamping timestamps according to the filesystem limits. 3. Add a warning for mount syscall to indicate the impending expiry of timestamps. 4. Modify utimes to clamp the timestamps. 5. Fill in limits for filesystems. An updated version of the test for checking file system timestamp limits has been posted at https://www.spinics.net/lists/fstests/msg12262.html Changes from previous version: * No change in mount behavior because of expiry of timestamps. * Included limits for more filesystems.
