+config INOTIFY
+        bool "Inotify file change notification support"
+        default y
+        ---help---
+          Say Y here to enable inotify support.  Inotify is a file change
+          notification system and a replacement for dnotify.  Inotify fixes
+          numerous shortcomings in dnotify and introduces several new features
+          including multiple file events, one-shot support, and unmount
+          notification.
+
+          For more information, see <file:Documentation/filesystems/inotify.txt>
+
+          If unsure, say Y.

+config INOTIFY_USER
+        bool "Inotify support for userspace"
+        depends on INOTIFY
+        default y
+        ---help---
+          Say Y here to enable inotify support for userspace, including the
+          associated system calls.  Inotify allows monitoring of both files and
+          directories via a single open fd.  Events are read from the file
+          descriptor, which is also select()- and poll()-able.
