Subject: [PATCH 0/4] Convert network timestamps to be y2038 safe

Introduction:

The series is aimed at transitioning network timestamps to being
y2038 safe.
All patches can be reviewed and merged independently, except for
the [PATCH 2/4], which is dependent on the [PATCH 1/4].

Socket timestamps and ioctl calls will be handled separately.

Thanks to Arnd Bergmann for discussing solution options with me.

Solution:

Data type struct timespec is not y2038 safe.
Replace timespec with struct timespec64 which is y2038 safe.

Deepa Dinamani (4):
  kernel: time: Add current_nw_timestamp() for network timestamps
  net: ipv4: Use y2038 safe functions and data structures
  net: ipv4: tcp_probe: Replace timespec with timespec64
  net: sctp: Convert log timestamps to be y2038 safe
