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.
