Public bug reported:

The nova API makes an implicit assumption that the "flavorid" field is
unique, but under certain circumstances this is not enforced. This
results in incorrect behavior in the situation where a deleted flavor's
flavorid is re-used for a new flavor. Any instances that are associated
to the deleted flavor will now appear to be associated to the new flavor
that re-used the id.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create a flavor named FOO with a flavorid of 5
  2. Create an instance using flavor FOO
  3. Delete the flavor FOO
  4. Create a flavor named BAR with a flavorid of 5

Look at the instance detail for the launched instance

Expected Behavior:

The instance detail says the instance is launched against FOO

Actual Behavior:

The instance detail says the instance is launched against BAR
