Not exactly.

The original code would print an error if
      sysfs_get_str(content, NULL, "sync_max", buf, 40);
returns 0 or negative.
The new code will not print an error if that returns zero.

i.e. you changed a '<=' into a '<'.  I wondered if there was some reason for
that - something that I was missing.
