Matt Riedemann 9369aab04e Don't expect meta attributes in object_compat that aren't in the db obj
The object_compat decorator expects to get the Instance object with
'metadata' and 'system_metadata' attributes but if those aren't in the
db instance dict object, Instance._from_db_object will fail with a
KeyError.

In Kilo this happens per refresh_instance_security_rules because in the
compute API code, the instance passed to refresh_instance_security_rules
comes from the call to get the security group(s) which joins on the
instances column, but that doesn't join on the metadata/system_metadata
fields for the instances.  So when the instances get to object_compat in
the compute manager and the db instance dict is converted to the
Instance object, it expects fields that aren't in the dict and we get
the KeyError.

The refresh_instance_security_rules case is fixed in Liberty per commit
12fbe6f082 - in that case the compute API
passes Instance objects to the compute manager so object_compat doesn't
have anything to do, _load_instance just sees instance_or_dict isn't a
dict and ignores it.

We're making this change since (1) it's an obviously wrong assumption in
object_compat and should be fixed and (2) we need to backport this fix
to stable/kilo since it's an upgrade impact for users there.

Closes-Bug: #1484738

OpenStack Nova README

OpenStack Nova provides a cloud computing fabric controller, supporting a wide variety of virtualization technologies, including KVM, Xen, LXC, VMware, and more. In addition to its native API, it includes compatibility with the commonly encountered Amazon EC2 and S3 APIs.

OpenStack Nova is distributed under the terms of the Apache License, Version 2.0. The full terms and conditions of this license are detailed in the LICENSE file.

Nova primarily consists of a set of Python daemons, though it requires and integrates with a number of native system components for databases, messaging and virtualization capabilities.

To keep updated with new developments in the OpenStack project follow @openstack on Twitter.

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

http://docs.openstack.org

For information about the different compute (hypervisor) drivers supported by Nova, read this page on the wiki:

https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/HypervisorSupportMatrix

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:

http://bugs.launchpad.net/nova

Developers wishing to work on the OpenStack Nova project should always base their work on the latest Nova code, available from the master GIT repository at:

https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/nova

Developers should also join the discussion on the mailing list, at:

http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev

Any new code must follow the development guidelines detailed in the HACKING.rst file, and pass all unit tests. Further developer focused documentation is available at:

http://docs.openstack.org/developer/nova/

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