--- Comment #16 from Michael Tuexen <tuexen@freebsd.org> ---
Please note that you should not be able to set the
net.inet.tcp.hostcache.cachelimit too high. It is set automatically to
net.inet.tcp.hostcache.bucketlimit * net.inet.tcp.hostcache.hashsize and you
should only the able to reduce it. If you provide a larger value in
/boot/loader.conf, the setting should be ignored and the above default shou=
ld
be used.

The setting you show indicates that you set net.inet.tcp.hostcache.hashsize=
 to
65536, leave net.inet.tcp.hostcache.bucketlimit at the default of 30, and t=
he
net.inet.tcp.hostcache.cachelimit is set automatically.

However, net.inet.tcp.hostcache.count should always be between 0 (inclusive)
and net.inet.tcp.hostcache.cachelimit (inclusive).

So I would really like to understand how you end up with such a large
net.inet.tcp.hostcache.count. This really blows up the sysctl operation, si=
nce
the code wants to allocate linesize * (V_tcp_hostcache.cache_count + 1) byt=
es,
which is much higher than the limit Richard computed...
