Title:
  Detaching multipath volume doesn't work properly when using different
  targets with same portal for each multipath device

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  In Progress
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova) icehouse series:
  Fix Committed
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova) juno series:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Overview:
  On Icehouse(2014.1.2) with "iscsi_use_multipath=true", detaching iSCSI 
  multipath volume doesn't work properly. When we use different targets(IQNs) 
  associated with same portal for each different multipath device, all of 
  the targets will be deleted via disconnect_volume().

  This problem is not yet fixed in upstream. However, the attached patch
  fixes this problem.

  Steps to Reproduce:

  We can easily reproduce this issue without any special storage
  system in the following Steps:

    1. configure "iscsi_use_multipath=True" in nova.conf on compute node.
    2. configure "volume_driver=cinder.volume.drivers.lvm.LVMISCSIDriver"
       in cinder.conf on cinder node.
    2. create an instance.
    3. create 3 volumes and attach them to the instance.
    4. detach one of these volumes.
    5. check "multipath -ll" and "iscsiadm --mode session".

  Detail:

  This problem was introduced with the following patch which modified
  attaching and detaching volume operations for different targets
  associated with different portals for the same multipath device.

      Fixed a problem in iSCSI multipath

  We found out that:

  >         elif multipath_device not in devices:

  >             self._delete_mpath(iscsi_properties, multipath_device, ips_iqns)

  When we use different targets(IQNs) associated with same portal for each different
  multipath device, the ips_iqns has all targets in compute node from the result of
  "iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p <the same portal>".
  Then, the _delete_mpath() deletes all of the targets in the ips_iqns
  via /sys/block/sdX/device/delete.

  For example, we create an instance and attach 3 volumes to the
  instance:

    # iscsiadm --mode session
    tcp: [17] 192.168.0.55:3260,1 iqn.2010-10.org.openstack:volume-5c526ffa-ba88-4fe2-a570-9e35c4880d12
    tcp: [18] 192.168.0.55:3260,1 iqn.2010-10.org.openstack:volume-b4495e7e-b611-4406-8cce-4681ac1e36de
    tcp: [19] 192.168.0.55:3260,1 iqn.2010-10.org.openstack:volume-b2c01f6a-5723-40e7-9f21-f6b728021b0e
    # multipath -ll

    size=4.0G features='0' hwhandler='0' wp=rw
    `-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=1 status=active
       `- 23:0:0:1 sdd 8:48 active ready running
    33000000100000001 dm-5 IET,VIRTUAL-DISK
    size=2.0G features='0' hwhandler='0' wp=rw
    `-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=1 status=active
       `- 21:0:0:1 sdb 8:16 active ready running

    `-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=1 status=active
       `- 22:0:0:1 sdc 8:32 active ready running

  Then we detach one of these volumes:

    # nova volume-detach 95f959cd-d180-4063-ae03-9d21dbd7cc50 5c526ffa-
  ba88-4fe2-a570-9e35c4880d12

  As a result of detaching the volume, the compute node remains 3 iSCSI sessions
  and the instance fails to access the attached multipath devices:

    # iscsiadm --mode session
    tcp: [17] 192.168.0.55:3260,1 iqn.2010-10.org.openstack:volume-5c526ffa-ba88-4fe2-a570-9e35c4880d12
