3.16.7-ckt23 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
---8<------------------------------------------------------------
From: David Turner <novalis@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit a4dad1ae24f850410c4e60f22823cba1289b8d52 upstream.
In ext4, the bottom two bits of {a,c,m}time_extra are used to extend
the {a,c,m}time fields, deferring the year 2038 problem to the year
2446.
When decoding these extended fields, for times whose bottom 32 bits
would represent a negative number, sign extension causes the 64-bit
extended timestamp to be negative as well, which is not what's
intended. This patch corrects that issue, so that the only negative
{a,c,m}times are those between 1901 and 1970 (as per 32-bit signed
timestamps).
Some older kernels might have written pre-1970 dates with 1,1 in the
extra bits. This patch treats those incorrectly-encoded dates as
pre-1970, instead of post-2311, until kernel 4.20 is released.
Hopefully by then e2fsck will have fixed up the bad data.
Also add a comment explaining the encoding of ext4's extra {a,c,m}time
bits.
