Say Y here to enable fanotify support. fanotify is a file access
notification system which differs from inotify in that it sends

config FANOTIFY_ACCESS_PERMISSIONS
bool "fanotify permissions checking"
depends on FANOTIFY
depends on SECURITY

hierarchical storage management systems.
If unsure, say N.
