FilterManager and fake file objects

NTFSD

Does FilterManager detect/handles/hide “fake file objects” (FileObjects
allocated on thread’s stack)?
In other words: Do we, (writers of MiniFilters) still have to pay attention
for presence of “fake file objects” in MiniFilter callbacks (avoiding CACHED
IO operations with them.)?

Filter Manager does not detect and hide operations/callbacks for stacked
fileobjects. Its the filter drivers job to detect and avoid any cached IO
operations on them. We are working on trying to completely eliminate these
stacked file objects in the next version of Windows, work is still in
progress.
