Taken from http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5079 signed long ranges from -2.147.483.648 to 2.147.483.647 on x86 32bit 10000011110110100100111110111101 .. -2,082,844,739 10000011110110100100111110111101 .. 2,212,122,557 <- this currently gets stored on the disk but when converting it to a 64bit signed long value it loses its sign and becomes positive. Cc: Andreas Dilger <adilger@dilger.ca> Cc: <linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org> Andreas says: This patch is now treating timestamps with the high bit set as negative times (before Jan 1, 1970). This means we lose 1/2 of the possible range of timestamps (lopping off 68 years before unix timestamp overflow - now only 30 years away :-) to handle the extremely rare case of setting timestamps into the distant past. If we are only interested in fixing the underflow case, we could just limit the values to 0 instead of storing negative values. At worst this will skew the timestamp by a few hours for timezones in the far east (files would still show Jan 1, 1970 in "ls -l" output). That said, it seems 32-bit systems (mine at least) allow files to be set into the past (01/01/1907 works fine) so it seems this patch is bringing the x86_64 behaviour into sync with other kernels. On the plus side, we have a patch that is ready to add nanosecond timestamps to ext3 and as an added bonus adds 2 high bits to the on-disk timestamp so this extends the maximum date to 2242.
