The series contains infrastucture patches required to convert vfs times to use 64 bit time.
The intention is to include these as part of 4.6 so that the follow on patches can go into 4.7.
Patch 1 is as per the agreed upon RFC approach 2b: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/2/12/105 And, patch 2 is as per previously agreed upon discussion in: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/1/7/20
The patches that will use these will be posted for the subsequent kernel release.
The series and the plan have been discussed with Arnd Bergmann.
Looks all good to me.
Al, Thomas: can one of you pick these up into the vfs or the tip/2038 tree?
