[PATCH v8 for-next 3/3] IB/core: Read subnet_prefix in ib_query_port via cache.

From: Anand Khoje
Date: Mon Jul 12 2021 - 08:26:59 EST


ib_query_port() calls device->ops.query_port() to get the port
attributes. The method of querying is device driver specific.
The same function calls device->ops.query_gid() to get the GID and
extract the subnet_prefix (gid_prefix).

The GID and subnet_prefix are stored in a cache. But they do not get
read from the cache if the device is an Infiniband device. The
following change takes advantage of the cached subnet_prefix.
Testing with RDBMS has shown a significant improvement in performance
with this change.
