Stephen Finucane dc9c7a5ebf Move revert resize under semaphore
As discussed in change I26b050c402f5721fc490126e9becb643af9279b4, the
resource tracker's periodic task is reliant on the status of migrations
to determine whether to include usage from these migrations in the
total, and races between setting the migration status and decrementing
resource usage via 'drop_move_claim' can result in incorrect usage.
That change tackled the confirm resize operation. This one changes the
revert resize operation, and is a little trickier due to kinks in how
both the same-cell and cross-cell resize revert operations work.

For same-cell resize revert, the 'ComputeManager.revert_resize'
function, running on the destination host, sets the migration status to
'reverted' before dropping the move claim. This exposes the same race
that we previously saw with the confirm resize operation. It then calls
back to 'ComputeManager.finish_revert_resize' on the source host to boot
up the instance itself. This is kind of weird, because, even ignoring
the race, we're marking the migration as 'reverted' before we've done
any of the necessary work on the source host.

The cross-cell resize revert splits dropping of the move claim and
setting of the migration status between the source and destination host
tasks. Specifically, we do cleanup on the destination and drop the move
claim first, via 'ComputeManager.revert_snapshot_based_resize_at_dest'
before resuming the instance and setting the migration status on the
source via
'ComputeManager.finish_revert_snapshot_based_resize_at_source'. This
would appear to avoid the weird quirk of same-cell migration, however,
in typical weird cross-cell fashion, these are actually different
instances and different migration records.

The solution is once again to move the setting of the migration status
and the dropping of the claim under 'COMPUTE_RESOURCE_SEMAPHORE'. This
introduces the weird setting of migration status before completion to
the cross-cell resize case and perpetuates it in the same-cell case, but
this seems like a suitable compromise to avoid attempts to do things
like unplugging already unplugged PCI devices or unpinning already
unpinned CPUs. From an end-user perspective, instance state changes are
what really matter and once a revert is completed on the destination
host and the instance has been marked as having returned to the source
host, hard reboots can help us resolve any remaining issues.

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.

Further developer focused documentation is available at:

Other Information

During each Summit and Project Team Gathering, we agree on what the whole community wants to focus on for the upcoming release. The plans for nova can be found at:
