This is a late set of changes from Deepa Dinamani doing an automated treewide conversion of the inode and iattr structures from 'timespec' to 'timespec64', to push the conversion from the VFS layer into the individual file systems. There were no conflicts between this and the contents of linux-next until just before the merge window, when we saw multiple problems: - A minor conflict with my own y2038 fixes, which I could address by adding another patch on top here. - One semantic conflict with late changes to the NFS tree. I addressed this by merging Deepa's original branch on top of the changes that now got merged into mainline and making sure the merge commit includes the necessary changes as produced by coccinelle. - A trivial conflict against the removal of staging/lustre. - Multiple conflicts against the VFS changes in the overlayfs tree. These are still part of linux-next, but apparently this is no longer intended for 4.18 [1], so I am ignoring that part. As Deepa writes: The series aims to switch vfs timestamps to use struct timespec64. Currently vfs uses struct timespec, which is not y2038 safe. The series involves the following: 1. Add vfs helper functions for supporting struct timepec64 timestamps. 2. Cast prints of vfs timestamps to avoid warnings after the switch. 3. Simplify code using vfs timestamps so that the actual replacement becomes easy. 4. Convert vfs timestamps to use struct timespec64 using a script. This is a flag day patch. Next steps: 1. Convert APIs that can handle timespec64, instead of converting timestamps at the boundaries. 2. Update internal data structures to avoid timestamp conversions. Thomas Gleixner adds: I think there is no point to drag that out for the next merge window. The whole thing needs to be done in one go for the core changes which means that you're going to play that catchup game forever. Let's get over with it towards the end of the merge window.

README
To understand all the Linux-USB framework, you'll use these resources: * This source code. This is necessarily an evolving work, and includes kerneldoc that should help you get a current overview. ("make pdfdocs", and then look at "usb.pdf" for host side and "gadget.pdf" for peripheral side.) Also, Documentation/usb has more information. * The USB 2.0 specification (from www.usb.org), with supplements such as those for USB OTG and the various device classes. The USB specification has a good overview chapter, and USB peripherals conform to the widely known "Chapter 9". * Chip specifications for USB controllers. Examples include host controllers (on PCs, servers, and more); peripheral controllers (in devices with Linux firmware, like printers or cell phones); and hard-wired peripherals like Ethernet adapters. * Specifications for other protocols implemented by USB peripheral functions. Some are vendor-specific; others are vendor-neutral but just standardized outside of the www.usb.org team. Here is a list of what each subdirectory here is, and what is contained in them. core/ - This is for the core USB host code, including the usbfs files and the hub class driver ("hub_wq"). host/ - This is for USB host controller drivers. This includes UHCI, OHCI, EHCI, and others that might be used with more specialized "embedded" systems. gadget/ - This is for USB peripheral controller drivers and the various gadget drivers which talk to them. Individual USB driver directories. A new driver should be added to the first subdirectory in the list below that it fits into. image/ - This is for still image drivers, like scanners or digital cameras. ../input/ - This is for any driver that uses the input subsystem, like keyboard, mice, touchscreens, tablets, etc. ../media/ - This is for multimedia drivers, like video cameras, radios, and any other drivers that talk to the v4l subsystem. ../net/ - This is for network drivers. serial/ - This is for USB to serial drivers. storage/ - This is for USB mass-storage drivers. class/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit into any of the above categories, and work for a range of USB Class specified devices. misc/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit into any of the above categories.
