The bdflush(2) man page has long carried this text:
Note: Since Linux 2.6, this system call is deprecated and does
nothing. It is likely to disappear altogether in a future ker‐
nel release. Nowadays, the task performed by bdflush() is han‐
dled by the kernel pdflush thread.
As far as I can see, the system call still exists, at least for x86-32.
If something further has changed (which exact recent kernel version, and,
ideally a commit ID), please add this info to this bug.
