+           Say Y here to enable fanotify suport.  fanotify is a file access
+           notification system which differs from inotify in that it sends
+           and open file descriptor to the userspace listener along with
+           the event.

+           If unsure, say Y.

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

+           If unsure, say N.
