EXFAT_TZ_VALID is corresponding to OffsetValid field in exfat
specification [1]. If this bit isn't set, timestamps should be treated
as having the same UTC offset as the current local time.
This patch uses the existing mount option 'time_offset' as fat does. If
time_offset isn't set, local UTC offset in sys_tz will be used as the
default value.

Please read this discussion:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-fsdevel/patch/[email protected]/
Thanks!
Hello, Namjae,
I found an important difference between the code we first wrote and the code that has changed since our initial patch review. This difference seems to cause compatibility issues when reading saved timestamps without timezone. (In our initial patch review, there were concerns about possible compatibility issues.)
I think the code that reads timestamps without timezone should go back to the concept we wrote in the first place like reported patch.
It could be an answer of another timestamp issue.
Could you please let me know what you think?
Thanks.

Yes, exactly, a part like below.

What I'm saying is "timestamp incompatibilities in exfat-fs" from Reiner <[email protected]>
I think it might be the same issue with this.

Have you read discussion about this before ?

Have you checked fuse-exfat patch he shared ? It was exfat timezone support.
I am not sure how it is related to sys_tz...

Of course. That's why I wrote the expression "go back".
As you know, there was the discussion of local time conversion method for
reading timestamps that have no OffsetValid bit.
that is, whether to use sys_tz or not was the main topic.
And I understand that the current exFAT implementation doesn't use sys_tz
and depends entirely on time_offset.(UTC if time_offset is not set)
> Let me know what I am missing something.
No, there is nothing you are missing.
I thought compatibility issues regarding sys_tz could be serious
because I misunderstood that other compatibility issues were reported. :(
I am just concerned that most system daemons mount exfat-fs without
time_offset option, which could be reported as a compatibility issue.
However, to discuss this more, it would be nice to see the trend of how
many issues regarding sys_tz will be reported.

As I mentioned above, I misunderstood. :)
I mistakenly thought that the code that handles timestamp without
OffsetValid bit was added as well.
