VFS_SYNC(9) FreeBSD Kernel Developer's Manual VFS_SYNC(9)

NAME
VFS_SYNC -- flush unwritten data

SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <sys/mount.h>
#include <sys/vnode.h>

int
VFS_SYNC(struct mount *mp, int waitfor, struct ucred *cred,
struct thread *td);

DESCRIPTION
The VFS_SYNC() macro writes out all unwritten data in the file system
mounted as mp.

The arguments it expects are:

mp The file system.

waitfor Whether the function should wait for I/O to complete. Possible
values are:

MNT_WAIT synchronously wait for I/O to complete

MNT_NOWAIT start all I/O, but do not wait for it

MNT_LAZY push data not written by file system syncer

cred The caller's credentials.

td The calling thread.

The VFS_SYNC() macro calls the vfs_sync method of the file system, which
normally calls VOP_FSYNC(9) for all the vnodes in the file system.
