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.

Patch looks great,

Maybe post it again to the linux-fsdevel list. Unfortunately there is no maintainer for this, so one of us will have to pick up the patch directly, but maybe someone else can comment.
