If the vnic_type of a bound port changes from "direct" to "macvtap" and then the compute service is restarted then during _init_instance nova tries to plug the vif of the changed port. However as it now has macvtap vnic_type nova tries to look up the netdev of the parent VF. Still that VF is consumed by the instance so there is no such netdev on the host OS. This error killed the compute service at startup due to unhandled exception. This patch adds the exception handler, logs an ERROR and continue initializing other instances on the host. Also this patch adds a detailed ERROR log when nova detects that the vnic_type changed during _heal_instance_info_cache periodic.

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:
