a=openpgp; fpr=4880B8C9BD0E5106FC070F4F7B3C391EFEA93624 proc_remove() looks the entry up by its name in its parent and removes whatever it finds there: remove_proc_subtree(de->name, de->parent); If the entry was removed already, say along with its parent, that is either nothing or a different entry that got the same name in the meantime, and de->parent may well be gone. Two removals of the same entry are a bug in the caller, but going by the name turns it into removing an entry that belongs to somebody else. Since commit 895b4c0c79b0 ("fs/proc: fix uaf in proc_readdir_de()") an entry that was unlinked has an empty rb node. So check for that under proc_subdir_lock and otherwise remove the entry itself, with the loop of remove_proc_subtree() moved into a helper both of them use. Nothing can help a caller that passes an entry that has been freed already.
