This is the basic framework for the 64 bit time migration for filesystems. There might be some changes or additions required as I start adapting to filesystems.
This gives the basic high level concept so that we can start discussing.
Actual changes to vfs and other file systems will be in a separate series.
Changes since v1: * struct inode_time added unconditionally * uniform use of CONFIG_FS_USES_64BIT_TIME
Deepa Dinamani (4): fs: vfs: add accessors for inode times fs: Add new data type for inode times fs: Add support for 64 bit time fs: macros and functions support 64 bit time
