SubjectRe: [PATCH 6/6] vfs: change inode times to use struct timespec64
Al,

Are you ok with this approach to changing vfs timestamps?

Kees mentioned that he wants to merge a patch to pstore that changes
it to use timespec64 internally for 4.17:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/5/13/3

I'm not sure how we usually merge such flag day patches. Should this
be targeted for 4.17 or 4.18? The above might or might not be a
problem based on when this series is merged.

If you are ok with this approach, I could post a v2 with a couple of
requested fix-ups.
