Sorry,  I mistakenly thought that as long as it is non-internel.h it
can be accessed externally.
Would you please give me more details about how to deal with this
situation or is there any
documents explain this? I hope to learn more then fix this.

I'll check more about this these days, then determine the solution.

Sorry for didn't check the whole exist callback functions, gave an
imprecise conclusion.
I will do my best to learn more, I hope I can make better
contributions to bpf in the future.

I think wait for sleepable and preemptible BPF programs to appear is a
better way to compatible
with all kinds implementations of d_dname.

Thank you for providing these valuable suggestions and information.
