According to the official documentation for HFS+ [1], inode timestamps are supposed to cover the time range from 1904 to 2040 as originally used in classic MacOS.
The traditional Linux usage is to convert the timestamps into an unsigned 32-bit number based on the Unix epoch and from there to a time_t. On 32-bit systems, that wraps the time from 2038 to 1902, so the last two years of the valid time range become garbled. On 64-bit systems, all times before 1970 get turned into timestamps between 2038 and 2106, which is more convenient but also different from the documented behavior.
The same behavior is used in Darwin and presumaby all versions of MacOS X, as seen in the to_hfs_time() function in [2]. It is unclear whether this is a bug in the file system code, or intentional but undocumented behavior.
This changes Linux over to the traditional MacOS (pre MacOS X) behavior. This means all files that are created on MacOS X or Linux with future timestamps between 2040 and 2106 will now show up as past dates. Timestamps between 2038 and 2040 will still be represented incorrectly on 32-bit architectures as times between 1902 and 1904, but that will be fixed once we have user space with 64-bit time_t.

But the to_bsd_time() function considers wrapped timestamps as invalid, doesn't it? So it seems they simply don't care about the post-2040 (or pre-1970) case?

I agree that it made more sense before.

Sorry for the late reply. Just got back to looking at what remains for the file systems.
You are of course right, my mistake: Apple writes a wrapped date when converting from bsd time to on-disk format, but does treat the wrapped dates as invalid when reading

Correct. I'll change it and resend it with a fixed changelog.
