max_probe and stash

[Yohjishong]

what does the max_probe mean? Can I consider it as the max times to remove the existing value when insert a new value.
And what does the stash mean? Can I consider it as the trash bin to store the value that is extruded in cuckoo hash.

Correct on both. However, I wouldn't call the stash a trash bin really: items that are left over after a failed insertion are put there.
