Using GPNFT/GNNFT command will be able to cover switch database with less number of scans. This patch removes Get NportID with provided WWPN/GIDPN switch command. By making this change, in large fabric with lots of remote port or NPIV ports with noisy SAN, the number of GIDPN commands issued by a port when it detects large number of remote ports going away or coming back, can overwhelmn the switch and it can becomde unresponsive. In a case where the fabric has not change, GIDPN is not required.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
