[Bug 1338672] [NEW] Nova might spawn without waiting for network-vif-plugged event
Public bug reported:
This applies only when the nova/neutron event reporting mechanism is
enabled.
It has been observed that in some cases Nova spawns an instance without
waiting for network-vif-plugged event, even if the vif was unplugged and
then plugged again.
This happens because the status of the VIF in the network info cache is not updated when such events are received.
Therefore the cache contains an out-of-date value and the VIF might already be in status ACTIVE when the instance is being spawned. However there is no guarantee that this would be the actual status of the VIF.
For instance in this case there are only two instances in which nova
starts waiting for 'network-vif-plugged' on f800d4a8-0a01-475f-
bd34-8d975ce6f1ab. However this instance is used in
tempest.api.compute.servers.test_server_actions, and the tests in this
suite should trigger more than 2 events requiring a respawn of an
instance after unplugging vifs.
>From what can be gathered by logs, this issue, if confirmed, should
occur only when actions such as stop, resize, reboot_hard are executed
on a instance.
