Re: [Y2038] [PATCH] fs:affs:Replace time_t with time64_t

The affs code uses "time_t" and "get_seconds()". This will cause problems on 32-bit architectures in 2038 when time_t overflows. This patch replaces them with "time64_t" and "ktime_get_real_seconds()". This patch introduces expensive 64-bit divsion in "secs_to_datestamp()", considering this function is not called so often, the cost should be acceptable.

Looks good,

Is anyone picking up patches for random unmaintained file systems, or should we put it into the y2038 tree?
