Re: [Y2038] [PATCH 0/4] Convert network timestamps to be y2038 safe

Introduction:

The series is aimed at transitioning network timestamps to being y2038 safe. All patches can be reviewed and merged independently, except for the [PATCH 2/4], which is dependent on the [PATCH 1/4].

Socket timestamps and ioctl calls will be handled separately.

Thanks to Arnd Bergmann for discussing solution options with me.

Solution:

Data type struct timespec is not y2038 safe. Replace timespec with struct timespec64 which is y2038 safe.

Please respin this, moving the helper into net/ipv4/af_inet.c as per the feedback given.

Thanks.
