Currently, We can't delete instance system metadata after instance is deleted because of following reason: 1) We might have 'changed-since' request which will access the soft deleted system_metadata 2) We might has period audit function which also access the soft deleted system_metadata The root cause is the join function filtered the 'deleted' data of system metadata and it lead to ValueError later. Conceptually the system metadata is associated with instance, it will be used in instance's lifecycle, the data will only be updated so we won't have 2 copies or more system_metadata for the same instance. So allow to read it even if it's deleted is safe. This patch load the system_metadata from db when instance is in deleted state to avoid can't delete system_metadata issue.

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:
