02582e9b | 7 | Say Y here to enable fanotify support. fanotify is a file access |
ff0b16a9 | 8 | notification system which differs from inotify in that it sends |

20 | Say Y here is you want fanotify listeners to be able to make permissions | |
21 | decisions concerning filesystem events. This is used by some fanotify | |
22 | listeners which need to scan files before allowing the system access to | |
23 | use those files. This is used by some anti-malware vendors and by some | |
24 | hierarchical storage managent systems. | |
