Anand Khoje 21bfee9c0c IB/core: Read subnet_prefix in ib_query_port via cache.
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.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
