.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
buffers
\fIbuffer_mapping\fR - the mapping which backs the buffers' data
\fImapping\fR - the mapping which wants those buffers written
.PP
Starts I/O against the buffers at mapping->private_list, and waits upon
that I/O.
.PP
Basically, this is a convenience function for \fBfsync\fR\&.  \fIbuffer_mapping\fR is
the blockdev which ``owns'' the buffers and \fImapping\fR is a file or directory
which needs those buffers to be written for a successful \fBfsync\fR\&.
