Can you factor this into a standalone function, something
like
static int
tgid_of_pid (int pid)
{
...
}
please?
Done.

Why even try to open the dir if is_tgid is false?
Doesn't make sense really. Fixed.

Otherwise okay.
I've also addressed the two comments from the other reply. We're
stopping only the threads from the PID we're attaching to.
The stale comments were updated to reflect the current situation. We can
still have a lwp that isn't the tgid, but we handle the case of pid ==
tgid correctly now. The new comments reflect that.
