There's a similar problem in nfs_rename():

        /*
         * We have to flush B_DELWRI data prior to renaming
         * the file.  If we don't, the delayed-write buffers
         * can be flushed out later after the file has gone stale
         * under NFSV3.  NFSV2 does not have this problem because
         * ( as far as I can tell ) it flushes dirty buffers more
         * often.
         */

        VOP_FSYNC(fvp, fcnp->cn_cred, MNT_WAIT, fcnp->cn_thread);
        if (tvp)
            VOP_FSYNC(tvp, tcnp->cn_cred, MNT_WAIT, tcnp->cn_thread);


fvp is not locked by the caller.
