If we know that the previous patch introduced the warning and that patch has not yet been committed to any immutable git tree then we fix it in that very patch and not after the fact.

The kernel uses 32-bit signed value(time_t) for seconds since 1970-01-01:00:00:00, so it will overflow at 2038-01-19 03:14:08 on 32-bit systems. We call this "2038 safety" issue. This patch fixed the build warnings brought by former patches. Signed-off-by: pang.xunlei <pang.xunlei@linaro.org> --- include/linux/time64.h | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-)
