+Subject: ext4: Fix handling of extended tv_sec
+
+From: David Turner <novalis@novalis.org>
+
+commit a4dad1ae24f850410c4e60f22823cba1289b8d52 upstream.
+
+In ext4, the bottom two bits of {a,c,m}time_extra are used to extend
+the {a,c,m}time fields, deferring the year 2038 problem to the year
+2446.
+
+When decoding these extended fields, for times whose bottom 32 bits
+would represent a negative number, sign extension causes the 64-bit
+extended timestamp to be negative as well, which is not what's
+intended. This patch corrects that issue, so that the only negative
+{a,c,m}times are those between 1901 and 1970 (as per 32-bit signed
+timestamps).
+
+Some older kernels might have written pre-1970 dates with 1,1 in the
+extra bits. This patch treats those incorrectly-encoded dates as
+pre-1970, instead of post-2311, until kernel 4.20 is released.
+Hopefully by then e2fsck will have fixed up the bad data.
+
+Also add a comment explaining the encoding of ext4's extra {a,c,m}time
+bits.
