Does it?

$ grep path_list drivers/infiniband/ulp/ipoib/*c
drivers/infiniband/ulp/ipoib/ipoib_main.c:      list_add_tail(&path->list, &priv->path_list);
drivers/infiniband/ulp/ipoib/ipoib_main.c:      list_splice(&priv->path_list, &remove_list);
drivers/infiniband/ulp/ipoib/ipoib_main.c:      INIT_LIST_HEAD(&priv->path_list);
drivers/infiniband/ulp/ipoib/ipoib_main.c:      INIT_LIST_HEAD(&priv->path_list);

In other words we add paths to ipoib specific cache, but we never seem
to *remove* individual paths from cache - we only know how to do
full cache invalidates on events such as port state change.

Right?
