will do the trick.
As far as I remember, if that flag is set FSD will purge the file cache as
part of the create request handling.

mapping.
In other case, CcPurgeCacheSection helps.

I was thinking the same but the next function doesn't work. Can somebody
explains me why after everything is successfull? It seems that the purge is
OK but the file is not re-read from the disk. It's obtained again from the
cache.

I figure out that CcUninitializeCacheMap will do the same but...
