If we could record all tests executed in syzbot environments before getting this report, we could rerun the tests (with manually examining where the source of memory consumption is) in local environments. Since syzbot is now using memcg, maybe we can test with sysctl_panic_on_oom == 1. Any memory consumption that triggers global OOM killer could be considered as a problem (e.g. memory leak or uncontrolled memory allocation).
