    bcache: stop using the deprecated get_seconds() · 75cbb3f1
    Arnd Bergmann authored
    The get_seconds function is deprecated now since it returns a 32-bit
    value that will eventually overflow, and we are replacing it throughout
    the kernel with ktime_get_seconds() or ktime_get_real_seconds() that
    return a time64_t.
    
    bcache uses get_seconds() to read the current system time and store it in
    the superblock as well as in uuid_entry structures that are user visible.
    
    Unfortunately, the two structures in are still limited to 32 bits, so this
    won't fix any real problems but will still overflow in year 2106. Let's
    at least document that properly, in case we get an updated format in the
    future it can be fixed. We still have a long time before the overflow
    and checking the tools at https://github.com/koverstreet/bcache-tools
    reveals no access to any of them.
