"""The 'workarounds' group is for very specific reasons.
If you're:
- Working around an issue in a system tool (e.g. libvirt or qemu) where the
fix is in flight/discussed in that community.
- The tool can be/is fixed in some distributions and rather than patch the
code those distributions can trivially set a config option to get the
"correct" behavior.
Then this is a good place for your workaround.
.. warning::
Please use with care! Document the BugID that your workaround is paired with.

A collection of workarounds used to mitigate bugs or issues found in system
tools (e.g. Libvirt or QEMU) or Nova itself under certain conditions. These
should only be enabled in exceptional circumstances. All options are linked
against bug IDs, where more information on the issue can be found.

Use sudo instead of rootwrap.
Allow fallback to sudo for performance reasons.
For more information, refer to the bug report:

cfg.BoolOpt(
'disable_libvirt_livesnapshot',
default=True,
help="""
Disable live snapshots when using the libvirt driver.
Live snapshots allow the snapshot of the disk to happen without an
interruption to the guest, using coordination with a guest agent to
quiesce the filesystem.
When using libvirt 1.2.2 live snapshots fail intermittently under load
(likely related to concurrent libvirt/qemu operations). This config
option provides a mechanism to disable live snapshot, in favor of cold
snapshot, while this is resolved. Cold snapshot causes an instance
outage while the guest is going through the snapshotting process.
For more information, refer to the bug report:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1334398
Possible values:
* True: Live snapshot is disabled when using libvirt
* False: Live snapshots are always used when snapshotting (as long as
there is a new enough libvirt and the backend storage supports it)
"""),
cfg.BoolOpt(
'handle_virt_lifecycle_events',
default=True,
help="""
Enable handling of events emitted from compute drivers.
Many compute drivers emit lifecycle events, which are events that occur when,
for example, an instance is starting or stopping. If the instance is going
through task state changes due to an API operation, like resize, the events
are ignored.
This is an advanced feature which allows the hypervisor to signal to the
compute service that an unexpected state change has occurred in an instance
and that the instance can be shutdown automatically. Unfortunately, this can
race in some conditions, for example in reboot operations or when the compute
service or when host is rebooted (planned or due to an outage). If such races
are common, then it is advisable to disable this feature.
Care should be taken when this feature is disabled and
'sync_power_state_interval' is set to a negative value. In this case, any
instances that get out of sync between the hypervisor and the Nova database
will have to be synchronized manually.
For more information, refer to the bug report:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1444630
Interdependencies to other options:
* If ``sync_power_state_interval`` is negative and this feature is disabled,
then instances that get out of sync between the hypervisor and the Nova
database will have to be synchronized manually.
