Summary

lbgroup hash table lookups are protected by epoch sections, but the hash
chains are regular LISTs instead of CK_LISTs. We also were not
deferring frees of inpcblbgroups.

Test Plan

Regression test in D17110.

gallatin tested the patch on a box at Netflix.

Yeah, CK work was committed soon after so_reuseport_lb was merged so this was missed. Thanks for fixing!

FWIW, as I mentioned in private email, the testing went fine. I verified that there were no apparent mem leaks, and that in_pcblbgroup_free_deferred() was called when I bounced nginx several times on a heavily loaded (> 90Gb/s) box.

Indeed, thanks. I also wrote some regression tests; see D17110. I submitted this diff to re@ already.
