| 19 | Say Y here is you want fanotify listeners to be able to make permissions |
| 20 | decisions concerning filesystem events. This is used by some fanotify |
| 21 | listeners which need to scan files before allowing the system access to |
| 22 | use those files. This is used by some anti-malware vendors and by some |
| 23 | hierarchical storage managent systems. |
