NAME

VFS_SYNC – flush unwritten data

CONTENTS

SYNOPSIS

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

int
VFS_SYNC(struct mount *mp, int waitfor);

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

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.
