> bond_xmit_hash() - global function, used by XOR and 3ad modes
> bond_flow_dissect() - used by bond_xmit_hash() to obtain the necessary
> headers and combine them according to bond->params.xmit_policy.
> Also factor out the ports extraction from skb_flow_dissect and add a new

> v2: add the flow_dissector patch and use skb_flow_get_ports in patch 02
> v3: fix a bug in the flow_dissector patch that caused a different thoff
>     by modifying the thoff argument in skb_flow_get_ports directly, most
>     of the users already do it anyway.
>     Also add the necessary export symbol for skb_flow_get_ports.
> v4: integrate the thoff bug fix in patch 01
> v5: disintegrate the thoff bug fix and re-base on top of Eric's fix

Series applied, thanks al ot.
