I don't see how num_port could be less than zero.

I think so, but trace-cmd checks whether udp_port is less than zero or
not in create_all_readers().

May I submit the removal patch?

It's not a critical path, the check is fine. As there was a check, I
was thinking that you were expecting it to pass an error which it never
did.

Perhaps just add a comment stating that udp_bind_a_port() currently
does not return an error, but if that changes in the future, we have a
check for it now.

That way a reviewer of the code does not get confused by it.

OK, I'll delete the check and add comment as follows:

/*

 * changes in the future, we have a check for it now.
 */
num_port = udp_bind_a_port(start_port, &sfd);
