Title:
  error in guestfs driver setup causes orphaned libguestfs processes

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

Bug description:
  In the libguestfs driver for Nova VFS, certain errors in the setup
  method can cause a libguestfs process to remain running, even after
  the VM is terminated and/or the method that spawned the libguestfs VM
  has finished.  These processes become zombies when killed, and can
  only be destroyed by restarting nova-compute.

  In the particular issue encountered, when using gluster as a cinder
  backend and attempting to launch a VM before adding a keypair, the
  error would occur.  However, it is feasible that the error could occur
  elsewhere.
