An earlier change [1] allowed [compute]resource_provider_association_refresh to be set to zero to disable the resource tracker's periodic refresh of its local copy of provider traits and aggregates. To allow for out-of-band changes to placement (e.g. via the CLI) to be picked up by the resource tracker in this configuration (or a configuration where the timer is set to a high value) this change clears the provider tree cache when SIGHUP is sent to the compute service. The next periodic will repopulate it afresh from placement. [1] Iec33e656491848b26686fbf6fb5db4a4c94b9ea8 Change-Id: I65a7ee565ca5b3ec6c33a2fd9e39d461f7d90ed2

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:
