Hi, all We hit IO error on fsync, it turns out was because sd treat succeeded SYNC as error. From what I checked in SBC spec there is no indication we should fail IO in this case, so we create this patch. Best Regards, Jack Wang

In order to fix this check in sd_done, report success if condition matches.
