Right, I can see that in ext3_iget() now:
inode->i_atime.tv_sec = (signed)le32_to_cpu(raw_inode->i_atime);
I may have just looked at ext3_do_update_inode(), which uses this
unsigned conversion:
raw_inode->i_ctime = cpu_to_le32(inode->i_ctime.tv_sec);
and didn't realize that this is only half of the story, and since it
converts from (potentially 64-bit) long to u32, it doesn't matter
whether that is signed or unsigned.
I may have to go through all of them again to see if I made the same
mistake in other file systems as well.
