invalid nanosecond may be returned in file times

[Andrey Bondarenko]

Smbnetfs may return invalid values nanosecond values for file times. Looks like nanosecond may be any random value even outside valid range [0,999999999] or even negative. This lead to problems with tools like rsync and "touch -r" which fail with 'Invalid argument' if source file is on smbnetfs backed FUSE filesystem.

The bug is forwarded upstream, see
https://sourceforge.net/p/smbnetfs/bugs/46/

Attaching minimal workaround patch for the bug. It works for me, but I'm not an expert so upstream will provide better solution, some day...

The patch in comment 1 does not fix problem. Another solution needed.

The patch in comment 1 fixed only fstat, but further tests show that stat can also return invalid nsec values.
New patch fixes both functions stats and fstat.
