Question Hash Tables of Buffers

Hello,

I want to know how hash tables for buffers were implemented in Unix and now, in linux how they are implemented ?

I am aware of what hashing is..also quite familiar with Unix/Linux.

Special case is how device numbers comes into picture..I am curious !

If possible consider some example like there are 1000 buffers that can stay in buffer pool..
Please do not divert by proving it is of O(1). I know that. I am asking implementation thing!

Tie::Hash::NamedCapture(3pm)				 Perl Programmers Reference Guide			      Tie::Hash::NamedCapture(3pm)

NAME
Tie::Hash::NamedCapture - Named regexp capture buffers SYNOPSIS
tie my %hash, "Tie::Hash::NamedCapture"; # %hash now behaves like %+ tie my %hash, "Tie::Hash::NamedCapture", all => 1; # %hash now access buffers from regexp in $qr like %- DESCRIPTION
This module is used to implement the special hashes "%+" and "%-", but it can be used to tie other variables as you choose. When the "all" parameter is provided, then the tied hash elements will be array refs listing the contents of each capture buffer whose name is the same as the associated hash key. If none of these buffers were involved in the match, the contents of that array ref will be as many "undef" values as there are capture buffers with that name. In other words, the tied hash will behave as "%-". When the "all" parameter is omitted or false, then the tied hash elements will be the contents of the leftmost defined buffer with the name of the associated hash key. In other words, the tied hash will behave as "%+". The keys of "%-"-like hashes correspond to all buffer names found in the regular expression; the keys of "%+"-like hashes list only the names of buffers that have captured (and that are thus associated to defined values).
