Merge tag 'y2038-vfs' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/playground

Pull y2038 vfs updates from Arnd Bergmann:
 "Add inode timestamp clamping.

  This series from Deepa Dinamani adds a per-superblock minimum/maximum
  timestamp limit for a file system, and clamps timestamps as they are
  written, to avoid random behavior from integer overflow as well as
  having different time stamps on disk vs in memory.

  At mount time, a warning is now printed for any file system that can
  represent current timestamps but not future timestamps more than 30
  years into the future, similar to the arbitrary 30 year limit that was
  added to settimeofday().

  This was picked as a compromise to warn users to migrate to other file
  systems (e.g. ext4 instead of ext3) when they need the file system to
  survive beyond 2038 (or similar limits in other file systems), but not
  get in the way of normal usage"
