The vflush() function removes any vnodes in the vnode table that belong to the given mount structure.

Its arguments are:

mp

The mount point whose vnodes should be removed.

skipvp

If this is given, the vnode it represents will be skipped.

flags

The flags indicating how vnodes should be handled.

FORCECLOSE: If set, busy vnodes will be forcibly closed.

WRITECLOSE: If set, only regular files currently opened for writing will be removed.

A value of 0 is returned if the flush is successful; otherwise, EBUSY will be returned.
