Inter-process communication on localhost should be established successfully even the ARP table is full, many processes on server machine use the localhost to communicate such as command-line interface (CLI), servers hope all CLI commands can be executed successfully even the arp table is full. Right now CLI commands got timeout when the arp table is full. Set the parameter of exempt_from_gc to be true for LOOPBACK net device to keep localhost neigh in arp table, not removed by gc. the steps of reproduced: server with "gc_thresh3 = 1024" setting, ping server from more than 1024 same netmask Lan IPv4 addresses, run "ssh localhost" on console interface, then the command will get timeout.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
