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 ?
