commit 04292c695f82b6cf0d25dd5ae494f16ddbb621f6 upstream.
Current range [8, 20] is set purely due to historical reasons because at the time, ~1M (2^20) was considered sufficient. With this change, 27 is the upper limit for 64-bit, 20 otherwise.
Previous change regarding this limit is here.

Note the table size must be power of 2. The table size will be the value of 2 to the your input number power.

Another note that each connection occupies 128 bytes effectively and each hash entry uses 8 bytes, so you can estimate how much memory is needed for your box.
You can overwrite this number setting conn_tab_bits module parameter - or by appending ip_vs.conn_tab_bits=? to the kernel command line - if IP VS was compiled built-in. + or by appending ip_vs.conn_tab_bits=? to the kernel command line if + IP VS was compiled built-in.
