parse_portmask return type is int,but global variable
"enabled_port_mask" type is uint32_t.so in proc_info_parse_args
function,when parse_portmask return -1,"enabled_port_mask" will
get a huge value and "if (enabled_port_mask == 0)" will never happen.

Hi,

This fix appears wrong. If you're making the value uint64_t, you cannot encode errors in the value. So, it's better to leave the return type as int, return 0 or -1 on success/error, and store the parsed result in a pointer passed to the function instead. Something like this:

static int
parse_portmask(const char *portmask, uint64_t *mask)
{
...
    if (pm == 0)
        return -1;
    *mask = pm;
    return 0;
}
