The handling of timestamps outside of the 1970..2038 range in the dlm glue is rather inconsistent: on 32-bit architectures, this has always wrapped around to negative timestamps in the 1902..1969 range, while on 64-bit kernels all timestamps are interpreted as positive 34 bit numbers in the 1970..2514 year range. Now that the VFS code handles 64-bit timestamps on all architectures, we can make the behavior more consistent here, and return the same result that we had on 64-bit already, making the file system y2038 safe in the process. Outside of dlmglue, it already uses 64-bit on-disk timestamps anway, so that part is fine. For consistency, I'm changing ocfs2_pack_timespec() to clamp anything outside of the supported range to the minimum and maximum values. This avoids a possible ambiguity of values before 1970 in particular, which used to be interpreted as times at the end of the 2514 range previously.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
