## \[PATCH v3 00/24\] Delete CURRENT\_TIME\_SEC and replace current\_fs\_time()

- From: Deepa Dinamani \<hidden\>

```text
The series is aimed at getting rid of CURRENT_TIME, CURRENT_TIME_SEC macros
and replacing current_fs_time() with current_time().
The macros are not y2038 safe. There is no plan to transition them into being
y2038 safe.
ktime_get_* api's can be used in their place. And, these are y2038 safe.

CURRENT_TIME will be deleted after 4.8 rc1 as there is a dependency function
time64_to_tm() for one of the CURRENT_TIME occurance.

Thanks to Arnd Bergmann for all the guidance and discussions.

Patches 3-5 were mostly generated using coccinelle.

All filesystem timestamps use current_fs_time() for right granularity as
mentioned in the respective commit texts of patches. This has a changed
signature, renamed to current_time() and moved to the fs/inode.c.

This series also serves as a preparatory series to transition vfs to 64 bit
timestamps as outlined here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/2/12/104 .

As per Linus's suggestion in https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/5/24/663 , all the
inode timestamp changes have been squashed into a single patch. Also,
current_time() now is used as a single generic vfs filesystem timestamp api.
It also takes struct inode* as argument instead of struct super_block*.
Posting all patches together in a bigger series so that the big picture is
clear.

As per the suggestion in https://lwn.net/Articles/672598/, CURRENT_TIME macro
bug fixes are being handled in a series separate from transitioning vfs to use.

Changes since v2:
* Fix buildbot error for uninitalized sb in inode.
* Minor fixes according to Arnd's comments.
* Leave out the fnic and deletion of CURRENT_TIME to be submitted after 4.8 rc1.

## \[PATCH v3 07/24\] fs: ext4: Use current\_time() for inode timestamps

- From: Deepa Dinamani \<hidden\>
- Date: 2016-06-25 21:37:31 
- Message: https://ratatoskr.run/linux-ext4/2016/06/108720.md

```text
CURRENT_TIME_SEC and CURRENT_TIME are not y2038 safe.
current_time() will be transitioned to be y2038 safe
along with vfs.

current_time() returns timestamps according to the
granularities set in the super_block.
The granularity check in ext4_current_time() to call
current_time() or CURRENT_TIME_SEC is not required.
Use current_time() directly to obtain timestamps
unconditionally, and remove ext4_current_time().

Quota files are assumed to be on the same filesystem.
Hence, use current_time() for these files as well.
