I can reproduce this infinite memory consumption with the C program:
https://gist.githubusercontent.com/dvyukov/03ec54b3429ade16fa07bf8b2379aff3/raw/ae4f654e279810de2505e8fa41b73dc1d77778e6/gistfile1.txt

But this is working as intended, right? It just creates infinite
number of large semaphore sets, which reasonably consumes infinite
amount of memory.
Except that it also violates the memcg bound and a process can have
effectively unlimited amount of such "drum memory" in semaphores.
