Subject: [PATCH] net: dns_resolver: convert time_t to time64_t
Date: Wed, 18 Nov 2015 08:36:44 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20151118063643.GA16239@waves> (raw)
Changes the definition of the pointer _expiry from time_t to
time64_t. This is to handle the Y2038 problem where time_t
will overflow in the year 2038. The change is safe because
the kernel subsystems that call dns_query pass NULL.

Changelog:
v1: The changes were originally made by Arnd Bergmann in
relation to time_t. I've broken down a patch sent to me
into two independent patches.
