    isofs: fix timestamps beyond 2027 · 34be4dbf
    Arnd Bergmann authored
    isofs uses a 'char' variable to load the number of years since
    1900 for an inode timestamp. On architectures that use a signed
    char type by default, this results in an invalid date for
    anything beyond 2027.
    
    This changes the function argument to a 'u8' array, which
    is defined the same way on all architectures, and unambiguously
    lets us use years until 2155.
    
    This should be backported to all kernels that might still be
    in use by that date.
