Here is the summary with links:
  - [v2,net-next,1/3] netem: add prng attribute to netem_sched_data
    https://git.kernel.org/netdev/net-next/c/4072d97ddc44
  - [v2,net-next,2/3] netem: use a seeded PRNG for generating random losses
    https://git.kernel.org/netdev/net-next/c/9c87b2aeccf1
  - [v2,net-next,3/3] netem: use seeded PRNG for correlated loss events
