Title:
  rebooted instances are shutdown by libvirt lifecycle event handling

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  This is a continuation of bug 1293480 (which created bug 1433049).
  Those were reported against xen domains with the libvirt driver but we
  have a recreate with CONF.libvirt.virt_type=kvm, see the attached logs
  and reference the instance with uuid
  9ad8f6c5-a5dc-4820-9ea5-fa081e74ec78.

  In this case, we're running a stress test of soft rebooting 30 active
  instances at once.  Because of a delay in the libvirt lifecycle event
  handling, they are all shutdown after the reboot operation is complete
  and the instances go from ACTIVE to SHUTDOWN.

  This was reported to me against Icehouse code but the recreate is
  against Juno code with patch:

  https://review.openstack.org/#/c/169782/

  For better logging.

  Snippets from the log:

  **
  At this point we have successfully soft rebooted the instance
  **

  now we get a lifecycle event from libvirt that the instance is
  stopped, since we're no longer running a task we assume the hypervisor
  is correct and we call the stop API

  **
  now we get a lifecycle event from libvirt that the instance is started, but since the instance already has a task_state of 'powering-off' because of the previous stop API call from _sync_instance_power_state, we ignore it.

  **
  from here on out, we'd shutdown the instance and that's why it's left in this state.

  There was a change made in kilo
  https://review.openstack.org/#/c/112946/ that delays sending the
  stopped lifecycle event waiting for a started lifecycle event which
  will cancel out the stopped event if it falls within a 15 second
  window.  That was only made for xen domains but as we're seeing this
  isn't just xen domains, it's also kvm, and therefore is probably an
  issue for any libvirt domain in nova.

  We made a change to include kvm in the delay logic:

          if CONF.libvirt.virt_type in ("xen", "kvm"):
              self._lifecycle_delay = 15
          else:
              self._lifecycle_delay = 0

  After that, only 1 out of 372 instances hit the problem and there was
  a warning in the logs about a looping call reporting state:

  I'll post a change to remove the xen-specific filtering in the
  lifecycle delay processing and I also already had a change posted to
  add a config option to disable the lifecycle event handling since it's
  racy and not tested at scale in the gate so operators should be able
  to turn it off:
