[issue39460] test_zipfile: test_add_file_after_2107() sometimes fails on Fedora Rawhide 3.x: Linux VFS/XFS bug

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor <vstinner at python.org> added the comment:

It seems like AIX also has a kernel issue with timestamp after year 2038. The year 2107 is stored as year 1972.

test_add_file_after_2107 (test.test_zipfile.StoredTestsWithSourceFile) ... skipped 'Linux VFS/XFS kernel bug detected: mtime_ns=91301504000000000'

https://bugs.python.org/issue39502#msg361116

>>> print(datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(91301504))
1972-11-22 18:31:44

The test is now skipped if the kernel or filesystem stores incorrectly the timestamp 4386268800 (2108-12-30). I don't think that we can do much more.

On the Linux kernel side, we reported the issue to:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1795576

I close this issue.
