Thanks for the conversion. Can you please check if other (scsi) drivers have the same y2038 issues? A quick "git grep do_gettimeofday drivers/scsi/ | wc -l" reveals 30 occurrences (of cause not all are problematic).
Hi Johannes, Yes, there are quite a few occurrences of timeval within scsi. I had sent some of the trivial back in the Feb-May 2015 period, and they were ack-ed by my then mentor and a couple of other people, but not merged or ack-ed by someone from linux-scsi. Until today, I thought using "RESEND" would be impolite, but now I will resend the other ones as well. Arnd Bergmann is leading this effort and may have more insightful comments. Thanks, Tina
