The user-specified hashtable size is unbound, this could easily lead to an OOM or a hung task as we hold the global mutex while allocating and initializing the new hashtable. The max value is derived from the max value when chosen by the kernel.

Hmm, won't that break restore of rulesets that have something like --hashlimit-size 10000? AFAIU this limits the module to vmalloc requests of only 64kbyte. I'm not opposed to a limit (or a cap), but 64k seems a bit low to me.
