FlushFIleBuffers equivalent

I wonder if there’s a Zw equivalent of FlushFileBuffers for kernel mode? I
am aware of IRP_MJ_FLUSH_BUFFERS, but it’s a bit inconvenient to use on
HANDLEs.

Thanks.

You may allocate your own IRP with IRP_MJ_FLUSH_BUFFERS.

Correct, use this IRP on file objects without any handles.
