Subject: [BUG] ext4 timestamps corruption
Hi,
Officially, ext4 can handle its timestamps until 2514
with 32bit entries plus EPOCH_BIT (2bits).
But when timestamps values use 32+ bit
(e.g. 2038-01-19 9:14:08 0x0000000080000000),
we can get corrupted values.
Because sign bit is overwritten by transferring value
between kernel space and user space.
This can be happened with kernel 3.0.0-rc2 (Also older kernel)
on x86_64.
# This issue is already on Bugzilla,
does anybody know this current status?
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23732
Reproduce steps are as follows:
# System time is set to UTC.
# mount -t ext4 /dev/sda8 /mnt/mp1
# touch -t 203801190314.08 /mnt/mp1/FILE
# umount /mnt/mp1
# mount -t ext4 /dev/sda8 /mnt/mp1
# stat /mnt/mp1/FILE
File: `/mnt/mp1/FILE'
