fsnotify doens't give the user anything. If someone chooses inotify or dnotify it should build fsnotify, if they don't select one it shouldn't be built. This patch changes fsnotify to be a def_bool=n and makes everything else select it. Also fixes the issue people complained about on lwn where gdm hung because they didn't have inotify and they didn't get the inotify build option..... Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

|

Say Y here to enable legacy in kernel inotify support. Inotify is a
|
|
file change notification system. It is a replacement for dnotify.
|
|
This option only provides the legacy inotify in kernel API. There
|
|
are no in tree kernel users of this interface since it is deprecated.
|
|
You only need this if you are loading an out of tree kernel module
|
|
that uses inotify.

|

---help---
|
|
Say Y here to enable inotify support for userspace, including the
|
|
associated system calls. Inotify allows monitoring of both files and
|
|
directories via a single open fd. Events are read from the file
|
|
descriptor, which is also select()- and poll()-able.
|
|
Inotify fixes numerous shortcomings in dnotify and introduces several
|
|
new features including multiple file events, one-shot support, and
|
|
unmount notification.

If unsure, say Y.
