I see, thanks for digging into it.

Unbounded asynchronous queueing is always a recipe for disaster... I
assume such issues can affect production as well, if some program
creates namespaces/devices in a loop. So I think ideally such things
are throttled/restricted in the kernel, e.g. new namespaces/devices
are not created if some threshold is reached.

Potentially syzkaller could throttle creation of new
namespaces/devices if we find a good and reliable way to monitor
backlog. Something like the length of a particular workqueue. It may
also help with OOMs. But so far I haven't found it.
