I think the name 'comm' is misleading as we have thread's comm
already.

I'm afraid this will add too much debug message for verbose=1. Maybe
we can demote some to pr_debug2()?

This and other places that return in the middle will leak the
thread_data.

You should check ctlfd_pos instead.

The rec->thread_data might not be set.
