I don't fully get why we can't use this new implementation in TT. What's wrong with the CRC computation?

The in kernel implementation will create a different hash sum -> tt entries will end up in a different bucket -> CRC will be different (please correct me about the last step... just had this problem in the back of my head).

Just checked the code and you are doing an XOR of the crc16 of all TT entries. So TT can also use the jhash function. Will change this stuff in the lunch break

Thanks, Sven
