The
.Nm
function invalidates all of the buffers associated with the given vnode.
This includes buffers on the clean list and the dirty list. If the V_SAVE
flag is specified then the buffers on the dirty list are synced prior to being
released. If there is a VM Object associated with the vnode it is removed.
.Pp
Its arguments are:
.Bl -tag -width spltimeo
.It Ar vp
A pointer to the vnode whose buffers will be invalidated.
.It Ar flags
The only supported flag is V_SAVE and it indicates that dirty buffers should by synced.
.It Ar cred
The user credentials that are used to
.Fn VOP_FSYNC ""
buffers if V_SAVE is set.
.It Ar p
The process responsible for this call.
.It Ar slpflag
The slp flag that will be used in the priority of any sleeps in the function.
.It Ar slptimeo
The timeout for any sleeps in the function.

Giant must be held by prior to the call and remains locked upon return.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
A 0 value is returned on success.

.Bd -literal
vn_lock(devvp, LK_EXCLUSIVE | LK_RETRY, p);
error = vinvalbuf(devvp, V_SAVE, cred, p, 0, 0);
VOP_UNLOCK(devvp, 0, p);
if (error)
return (error);
.Ed
.Sh ERRORS
.Bl -tag -width Er

Disc quota exceeded. (With V_SAVE)
.It Bq Er EWOULDBLOCK
Sleep operation timed out (See slptimeo)
