[PATCH RESEND] AFS: Correctly use 64-bit time for UUID

Show all headers | View raw

UUID calculation uses 'struct timespec' whose seconds will overflow
in year 2038 and beyond for 32-bit systems. This patch removes the
dependency on 'struct timespec' by using ktime_get_real().
While the patch does not fix a 'bug' as such, it is part of a larger
effort to remove instances of 'struct timespec' and other data-structures
suffering from y2038 problem from the kernel.
