Why is it locale-dependent? All ISO9660 file times are stored as Gregorian calendar dates regardless of who made them, and the target (UNIX file time) isn't locale-dependent either. Why would it affect the calculation if the local system used the Muslim calendar?
You're probably right, but I just want to know why so I'll know for the future.
Shouldn't there be a gregorian_date_to_unix_time() function in the kernel so that every driver that needs such conversion can share that implementation? It would keep date processing consistent and make it easy to spot date bugs.
