3 bool "Filesystem wide access notification"
8 Say Y here to enable fanotify support. fanotify is a file access
9 notification system which differs from inotify in that it sends
10 an open file descriptor to the userspace listener along with
15 config FANOTIFY_ACCESS_PERMISSIONS
16 bool "fanotify permissions checking"
21 Say Y here is you want fanotify listeners to be able to make permissions
22 decisions concerning filesystem events. This is used by some fanotify
23 listeners which need to scan files before allowing the system access to
24 use those files. This is used by some anti-malware vendors and by some
25 hierarchical storage management systems.
