Once SM is up on a node/switch whole network is up. Now is if some
client is trying to establish a connection with other node, client is
expected to resolve the path using sa API, I want to know how exactly
it happens in the stack?

See patch 3/3 for the use of the cache. In that patch, the rdma_cm first checks to see if a suitable path record is available in the cache. If one is not found, it issues a query to the SA. The stack impact of using the cache is less than the impact of sending a path record query to the SA.

Is it  possible to program local_sa_cache with some dummy path records
which resides in cache for long time?

This would require changes to the current implementation.
