Likewise. Lets go over this again:
1) the idea is to have a hashing function that
performs well for the page cache and/or the
hashed wait queues
2) input for these two hash functions is not at
all guaranteed to be random or uniformly spread
3) this means we need a hash function that performs
well on very much non-random inputs
Now, where does your random number generator fit in this
scenario ?
