I guess processutils.execute() might not be a good way to run background
task. We have async_process for that.

Title:
  processutils.execute can not run background task

Status in OpenStack Neutron (virtual network service):
  Invalid

Bug description:
  This bug is reported from ironic, we are using the --background option
  in processutils.execute(), but it hangs, sees  the
  processutils.execute which doesn't support running tasks in background
  because it PIPES the std{in,out,err} interface causing communicate to
  hang[1].

  A quick test:

  In [15]: p = subprocess.Popen("sleep 10&", stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
  stderr=subprocess.PIPE, shell=True) In [16]: p.communicate()

  hangs...

  In [11]: p = subprocess.Popen("sleep 10&", shell=True) In [12]:
  p.communicate() Out[12]: (None, None)

  doesn't hangs...

  Could you please help to fix it? Thx.
