The patch titled
     Subject: coda: stop using 'struct timespec' in user API
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     coda-stop-using-struct-timespec-in-user-api.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

Subject: coda: stop using 'struct timespec' in user API

We exchange file timestamps with user space using psdev device read/write
operations with a fixed but architecture specific binary layout.

On 32-bit systems, this uses a 'timespec' structure that is defined by the
C library to contain two 32-bit values for seconds and nanoseconds.  As we
get ready for the year 2038 overflow of the 32-bit signed seconds, the
kernel now uses 64-bit timestamps internally, and user space will do the
same change by changing the 'timespec' definition in the future.

Unfortunately, this breaks the layout of the coda_vattr structure, so we
need to redefine that in terms of something that does not change.  I'm
introducing a new 'struct vtimespec' structure here that keeps the
existing layout, and the same change has to be done in the coda user space
copy of linux/coda.h before anyone can use that on a 32-bit architecture
with 64-bit time_t.

An open question is what should happen to actual times past y2038, as they
are now truncated to the last valid date when sent to user space, and
interpreted as pre-1970 times when a timestamp with the MSB set is read
back into the kernel.  Alternatively, we could change the new
timespec64_to_coda()/coda_to_timespec64() functions to use a different
interpretation and extend the available range further to the future by
disallowing past timestamps.  This would require more changes in the user
space side though.
