This patch adds a new socket option, SO_REUSEPORT_LB, which allow multiple programs or threads to bind to the same port and incoming connections will be load balanced using a hash function. Most of the code was copied from a similar patch for DragonflyBSD. However, in DragonflyBSD, load balancing is a global on/off setting and can not be set per socket. This patch allows for simultaneous use of both the current SO_REUSEPORT and the new SO_REUSEPORT_LB options on the same system. Required changes to structures: Globally change so_options from 16 to 32 bit value to allow for more options. Add hashtable in pcbinfo to hold all SO_REUSEPORT_LB sockets. Limitations: As DragonflyBSD, a load balance group is limited to 256 pcbs (256 programs or threads sharing the same socket). This is a substantially different contribution as compared to its original incarnation at svn r332894 and reverted at svn r332967. Thanks to rwatson@ for the substantive feedback that is included in this commit.

FreeBSD
FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.
