+.Fd #include <sys/vnode.h>
+.Ft int
+.Fn vinvalbuf "struct vnode *vp" "int flags" "struct ucred *cred" "struct proc *p" "int slpflag" "int slptimeo"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn vinvalbuf
+function invalidates all of the buffers associated with the given vnode.
+This includes buffers on the clean list and the dirty list.
+If the
+.Dv V_SAVE
+flag is specified then the buffers on the dirty list are synced prior to being
+released. If the
+.Dv V_SAVEMETA
+flag is set indirect blocks will not be flushed.
+.Pp
+Its arguments are:
+.Bl -tag -width ".Fa spltimeo"
+.It Fa vp
+A pointer to the vnode whose buffers will be invalidated.
+.It Fa flags
+The supported flags are
+.Dv V_SAVE
+and
+.Dv V_SAVEMETA .
+.Dv V_SAVE
+indicates that dirty buffers should be synced with the disk.
+.Dv V_SAVEMETA
+indicates the indirect blocks should not be flushed
+.It Fa cred
+The user credentials that are used to
+.Xr VOP_FSYNC 9
+buffers if
+.Dv V_SAVE
+is set.
+.It Fa p
+The process responsible for this call.
+.It Fa slpflag
+The slp flag that will be used in the priority of any sleeps in the function.
+.It Fa slptimeo
+The timeout for any sleeps in the function.

+.Sh LOCKS
+The vnode is assumed to be locked prior to the call and remains locked upon return.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+A 0 value is returned on success.
+.Sh PSEUDOCODE
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+vn_lock(devvp, LK_EXCLUSIVE | LK_RETRY, p);
+error = vinvalbuf(devvp, V_SAVE, cred, p, 0, 0);
+VOP_UNLOCK(devvp, 0, p);

+	return (error);
