+From 194e199ce08acc2192f6a63420ff24d9064666e5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

+Subject: [PATCH] tests: disable the check for inotify
+
+We don't need to check inotify.h.
+Assume it is present since it is part of the linux kernel
+since 2.6.13 [1].
+
+[1](https://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_13)
+
+(it would require installing the libc headers otherwise,
+ for the test  to detect /usr/include/sys/inotify.h.)
+
+Upstream-Status: Inappropriate[OE-specific]
