I don't think this change is sufficient to prevent kernel crash, as a

When (a * mul) overflows, a divide 0 error occurs in
mul_u64_u64_div_u64(). Commit 3dc167ba5729 ("sched/cputime: Improve
cputime_adjust()") changed func and said: "Will generate an #DE when the
result doesn't fit u64, could fix with an __ex_table[] entry when it
becomes an issue." But we are unsure of how to fix it. Could you please
explain how to fix this issue.

Not sure I understand the question...

OK, we can change mul_u64_u64_div_u64() to trap the exception, say,

	static inline u64 mul_u64_u64_div_u64(u64 a, u64 mul, u64 div)
	{
		u64 q;

		asm ("mulq %2; 1: divq %3; 2:\n"
		     _ASM_EXTABLE_TYPE(1b, 2b, EX_TYPE_DEFAULT|EX_FLAG_CLEAR_AX)
					: "=a" (q)
					: "a" (a), "rm" (mul), "rm" (div)
					: "rdx");

		return q;
	}

should (iiuc) return 0 if the result doesn't fit u64 or div == 0.

But even if we forget that this is x86-specific, how can this help?
What should calculate_bytes_allowed() do/return in this case?

I believe, U64_MAX should be returned if result doesn't fit u64;

probably need to remove the mul_u64_u64_div_u64 and check for
overflow/potential overflow ourselves?

probably yes...

How about this?
