Couple of very minor style comments below.

You're adding some extra whitespace here. Can probably be fixed on apply.

And one final minor nit: if doing a new version, you can remove the
temporary variable for "fid". In my suggestion I only added it because I
had the assignment done on a single line and didn't want to wrap. Since
you've split the temporary struct across multiple lines, the temporary
variable isn't needed as the SW_HASH_FLOWID will fit on the assignment
line.
