Model field validator with a generic parameter causes infinite recursion when making migrations

[Michal Dabski]

Minimal code to reproduce (in models.py) in Django==4.2.25

from django.utils.deconstruct import deconstructible
from django.db import models

@deconstructible
class SchemaValidator:
    def __init__(self, expected_type: type):
        pass

    def __call__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        pass

class TestModel(models.Model):
    config: dict[str, float] = models.JSONField(validators=[SchemaValidator(dict[str, float])])

This triggers an error when running makemigrations:

$ ./manage.py makemigrations
Migrations for 'audit_builder':
  meg_forms\audit_builder\migrations\0083_alter_testmodel_config.py
    - Alter field config on testmodel

RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded

Debugging locally shows that:

• removing generic parameters from the dict type passed to SchemaValidator does not trigger the error
• The loop happens in django.db.migrations.serializer.IterableSerializer.serialize, it keeps recursively invoking serializer_factory(item).serialize() with item='*dict[str, float]' (GenericAlias)
