Abstract
Implementations are provided herein for using relative generation numbers for deduplicating kernel events modification events. The process can identify multiple modification events that take place on the same inode within a configurable relative amount of time and deduplicate the events against one another. A hash table can be used to store a global list of events associated with inodes, and thus only the hash table need be deduplicated. Filter buffer(s) setup when an Server Message Block ('SMB') client requests a change notifications on a file and/or directory can then use the data from the hash table(s) to notify clients of change notify events.
