I had posted a patch here for restricting module loading requests from
user namespaces as a way to reduce attack surface:
v2:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220815082753.6088-1-vegard.nossum@oracle.com/
v1:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220809185229.28417-1-vegard.nossum@oracle.com/
I'll respond to Serge's comment on the v2 thread.
