Matt Riedemann 5aadff75c3 Wait for network-vif-plugged before starting live migration
This adds a new config option which is read on the destination host
during pre_live_migration and the value is returned back to the
source host, which can be used to determine, from the source host,
if it should wait for a "network-vif-plugged" event due to VIFs
being plugged on the destination host. This helps us to
avoid the guest transfer at all if vif plugging failed on the dest
host, which we just wouldn't find out until post live migration
and then we have to rollback.

The option is disabled by default for backward compatibility and
also because certain networking backends, like OpenDaylight, are
known to not send network-vif-plugged events unless the port host
binding information changes, which for live migration doesn't happen
until after the guest is transferred to the destination host.

We could arguably avoid the changes to the live migrate data
versioned object and just assume the same networking backend is
used within each cell, but this does allow the deployer to have
the flexibility of live migrating between different network
backends (eventually anyway). The ability to live migrate between
different VIF types is being worked on as part of blueprint
neutron-new-port-binding-api.

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.
