The issue arises from the interaction between BPF object unpinning and RCU callback mechanisms: 1. BPF object unpinning uses ->free_inode() which schedules cleanup via call_rcu(), deferring the actual freeing to an RCU callback that executes within the RCU_SOFTIRQ context. 2. During cleanup of hash tables containing internal structures, htab_map_free_internal_structs() is invoked, which includes cond_resched() or cond_resched_rcu() calls to yield the CPU during potentially long operations. However, cond_resched() or cond_resched_rcu() cannot be safely called from atomic RCU softirq context, leading to the BUG warning when attempting to reschedule. Fix this by changing from ->free_inode() to ->destroy_inode() and rename bpf_free_inode() to bpf_destroy_inode() for BPF objects (prog, map, link). This allows direct inode freeing without RCU callback scheduling, avoiding the invalid context warning.
