Re: [Y2038] [PATCH] quota: use time64_t internally

The quota subsystem has two formats, the old v1 format using architecture specific time_t values on the on-disk format, while the v2 format (introduced in Linux 2.5.16 and 2.4.22) uses fixed 64-bit little-endian.

While there is no future for the v1 format beyond y2038, the v2 format is almost there on 32-bit architectures, as both the user interface and the on-disk format use 64-bit timestamps, just not the time_t inbetween.

This changes the internal representation to use time64_t, which will end up doing the right thing everywhere for v2 format.

Thanks. I've added the patch to my tree and will push it to Linus in the next merge window.
