Your new syncfs also operates on files, it's only the name of sync_file_range which is not very fitting. Other than that, syncing files in weird, nonstandard ways is what it does and in that sense it's a good place for syncfs functionality.
It operates on a file system. It takes a file descriptor as an argument. (Much like the statfs(2) system call.) There's a difference. - Ted
