Is it really a harmless message?

Seems that with zfs all system memory can be in use,
and when it's time to clean up some of the cached data
to free some memory, tcp will enter "defensive mode"
and starts to abort connections more aggressively or
rejects accepting  new connections under certain
conditions.  

The fix for  6910378 even adds a new tunable "tcp_do_reclaim"
that can be set to 0 to stop the  tcp defensive mode.
