Just thinking out loud, perhaps one way would be to implement your own fanout
hashing via eBPF demuxer, f.e. in case CPU selection etc wouldn't work. Another
option could be to have a (2nd) customizable hash demux that would enforce to
always go through the flow-dissector and where you would have a socket option
to control keys for it, but I presume that seems rather less desirable.
It’s less desirable, but at the moment seems like the path of least resistance. I haven’t written an eBPF program before, so I’m reading up on that. Once I get that worked out I can add that to the socket. Have you implemented this in netsniff-ng or something else yet, Daniel?

It seems the problem has been introduced by
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=42aecaa9bb2bd57eb8d61b4565cee5d3640863fb
where the symetrical jhash_3words function has been replaced by jhash2.
