Title:
  Missing nova context during spawn

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The nova request context tracks a security context and other request
  information, including a request id that is added to log entries
  associated with this request.  The request context is passed around
  explicitly in many chunks of OpenStack code.  But nova/context.py also
  stores the RequestContext in the thread's local store (when the
  RequestContext is created, or when it is explicitly stored through a
  call to update_store).  The nova logger will use an explicitly passed
  context, or look for it in the local.store.

  A recent change in community openstack code has resulted in the
  context not being set for many nova log messages during spawn:

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1372049

  This change spawns a new thread in nova/compute/manager.py
  build_and_run_instance, and the spawn runs in that new thread.  When
  the original RPC thread created the nova RequestContext, the context
  was set in the thread's local store.  But the context does not get set
  in the newly-spawned thread.

  Example of log messages with missing req id during spawn:
