Balazs Gibizer 53a893f7c9 Enhance service restart in functional env
Bugfix Icaf1bae8cb040b939f916a19ce026031ddb84af7 showed that restarting
a compute service in the functional env is unrealistic causing faults
to slip through. During that bug fix only the minimal change was done
in the functional env regarding compute service restart to reproduce
the reported fault. However the restart of the compute service could
be made even more realistic.

This patch simulates a compute service restart in the functional env
by stopping the original compute service and starting a totally new
compute service for the same host and node. This way we can make sure
that we get a brand new ComputeManager in the new service and no
state can leak between the old and the new service.

This change revealed another shortcoming of the functional env.
In the real world the nova-compute service could be restarted without
loosing any running servers on the compute host. But with the naive
implementation of this change the compute service is re-created. This
means that a new ComputeManager is instantiated that loads a new
FakeDriver instance as well. That new FakeDriver instance then reports
an empty hypervisor. This behavior is not totally unrealistic as it
simulates such a compute host restart that cleans the hypervisor state
as well (e.g. compute host redeployment). However this type of restart
shows another bug in the code path that destroys and deallocates
evacuated instance from the source host. Therefore this patch
implements the compute service restart in a way that simulates only a
service restart and not a full compute restart. A subsequent patch will
add a test that uses the clean hypervisor case to reproduces the
revealed bug.

OpenStack Nova

OpenStack Nova provides a cloud computing fabric controller, supporting a wide variety of compute technologies, including: libvirt (KVM, Xen, LXC and more), Hyper-V, VMware, XenServer, OpenStack Ironic and PowerVM.

Use the following resources to learn more.

API

To learn how to use Nova's API, consult the documentation available online at:

For more information on OpenStack APIs, SDKs and CLIs in general, refer to:

Operators

To learn how to deploy and configure OpenStack Nova, consult the documentation available online at:

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:

Developers

For information on how to contribute to Nova, please see the contents of the CONTRIBUTING.rst.

Any new code must follow the development guidelines detailed in the HACKING.rst file, and pass all unit tests.
