[PATCH v3 2/5] vfs: Add checks for filesystem timestamp limits

From: Deepa Dinamani
Date: Sat Feb 18 2017 - 18:32:52 EST


Allow read only mounts for filesystems that do not
have maximum timestamps beyond the y2038 expiry
timestamp.

Also, allow a sysctl override to all such filesystems
to be mounted with write permissions.
A boot param supports initial override of these
checks from the early boot without recompilation.
