The function does not check that parsing_end is false after parsing argument. Thus, if the final part of the argument is something like '4-', which is invalid, parse_num_list() will discard it instead of returning -EINVAL. Before: $ ./test_progs -n 2,4- #2 atomic_bounds:OK Summary: 1/0 PASSED, 0 SKIPPED, 0 FAILED After: $ ./test_progs -n 2,4- Failed to parse test numbers.
