Applied to for-linus-4.2, thanks. "This patch" is a bit redundant in a commit message so I tweaked it to read: struct timeval uses a 32-bit field for representing seconds, which will overflow in the year 2038 and beyond. Replace struct timeval with 64-bit ktime_t which is 2038 safe. This is part of a larger effort to remove instances of 32-bit timekeeping variables (timeval, time_t and timespec) from the kernel. > Signed-off-by: Tina Ruchandani > Suggested-by: Arnd Bergmann > -- Use 3 hyphens as a separator here. > Changes in v2: David
