+config FSNOTIFY
+        bool "Filesystem notification backend"
+        default y
+        ---help---
+           fsnotify is a backend for filesystem notification.  fsnotify does
+           not provide any userspace interface but does provide the basis
+           needed for other notification schemes such as dnotify, inotify,
+           and fanotify.
+
+           Say Y here to enable fsnotify suport.
+
+           If unsure, say Y.
