Description Alessandro Guido 2009-09-05 16:28:37 UTC 
Linux 2.6.32 will introduce fsnotify, a common layer for filesystem notifications. The userspace interface of inotify (INOTIFY_USER) will use fsnotify directly, so CONFIG_INOTIFY is not needed.

Reproducible: Always

That should have been 2.6.31

Now checking only for CONFIG_INOTIFY_USER
