Title:
  Compute manager fails to cleanup compute_nodes not reported by driver

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Fix Released
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova) grizzly series:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  When virt driver supports multiple nodes and one node is removed from
  driver support the compute_nodes in DB are not synched with the driver
  list. This will cause scheduler to pick bad host resulting in this
  error:

  | fault | {u'message': u'NovaException', u'code': 500, u'details': u'helium51 is not a valid node managed by this compute host. |
  | | File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/nova/compute/manager.py", line 223, in decorated_function |
  | | return function(self, context, *args, **kwargs) |

  Two things I see in the code:

  first the list of known hosts is not reflecting the DB list but a list
  from driver.get_available_nodes:

  known_nodes = set(self._resource_tracker_dict.keys())

  Which then will never yield orphan compute_nodes in this statement:

  for nodename in known_nodes - nodenames

  Secondly, even if we fix to get known_nodes from the DB through
  conductor

  This code will always raise and exception:

  for nodename in known_nodes - nodenames:
      rt = self._get_resource_tracker(nodename)
      rt.update_available_resource(context, delete=True)

  because _get_resource_tracker will always check the nodename is in
  driver.get_available_nodes

  To replicate this you could just change your hypervisor_hostname which
  will create a new record in nova.compute_nodes table leaving the old
  record around. This will simulate a compute node that is not supported
  anymore in a multi-node scenario.

  Suggestion:

  Remove logic to delete orphan compute_nodes from compute.manager and
  move to compute.resource_tracker under the _sync_compute_node method
  which already loops through all compute_nodes records for compute
  service
