gen_confirm() generates a unique identifier based on the current time. This overflows in year 2038, but that is harmless since it generally does not lead to duplicates, as long as the time has been initialized by a real-time clock or NTP. Using ktime_get_boottime_seconds() or ktime_get_seconds() would avoid the overflow, but it would be more likely to result in non-unique numbers.
