   7            Say Y here to enable fanotify support.  fanotify is a file access
   8            notification system which differs from inotify in that it sends
   9            an open file descriptor to the userspace listener along with
  10            the event.

  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.
