From my dabbling with the Windows I/O stack and filesystems way back,
I'd say that flushing (and all other operations, really) are per-FCB.
The FCB (file control block) is a per-open-file unique structure deep in
the I/O stack that all file handles refer to. Any file handle that has
the necessary access and sharing rights to flush the file cache will
affect the cache state for all other file handles.
