> In this patch set we add skb_get_hash_perturb which gets the skbuff

> To handle the sch_choke issue (passes flow_keys in skbuff cb) we

> Version 2:

> - Add keyval parameter to __flow_hash_from_keys which allows caller to
>   set the initval for jhash
> - Perturb always does flow dissection and creates hash based on
>   input perturb value which acts as the keyval to __flow_hash_from_keys
> - Added a _flow_keys_digest_data which is used in make_flow_keys_digest.
>   This fills out the digest by populating individual fields instead

Series applied, thanks Tom.
