[Bug 1515768] Re: Instance creation fails with libvirtError: Unable to create tap device: Device or resource busy

 

>From the analysis above I gather there's not much that can be done from
the Neutron-side, especially if the failure mode is caused by the
specific use case mentioned.

Title:
  Instance creation fails with libvirtError: Unable to create tap
  device: Device or resource busy

Status in heat:
  New
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  In Progress
Status in tacker:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Summary:
  This issue is observed frequently on Jenkins gate and has been reproducible in local setup too.

  Steps:
  Initiate 3 stack create requests at once in a script:

  heat stack-create -f /home/stack/template_file stack1
  heat stack-create -f /home/stack/template_file stack2
  heat stack-create -f /home/stack/template_file stack3

  using the following HOT file:
  http://paste.openstack.org/show/479920/

  
  One of the stack creations fails with CreateFailed: Resource Create Failed: Conflict: Resources. vdu3: Port Is Still In Use.

  From the nova logs, there are duplicate bridges created for one of the
  servers. The qemu xml fails with libvirtError: Unable to create tap
  device tapd3a3d9e9-5d: Device or resource busy. See timestamp
  2015-11-25 23:03:14.940 in n-cpu.log

  Attaching the relevant n-cpu.log, q-svc.log and h-eng.log

  Observation:
  The 1st network interface for the nova instance is a Neutron Port resource provided in HOT template.
  Nova sends a PUT request to update the port information. It also sends 2 POST requests for the 2nd and 3rd network interfaces.
  Neutron receives the PUT request and sends network-event changed event while nova is still waiting for the POST response for the 2 ports.
  If the network-changed event is received before the 3rd port POST response is received, refresh_cache is acquired by nova_service
  Nova sends a query for port information, updates the cache and release the lock.
  By then, POST requests are completed which acquires the cache lock again and sends request for network info. refresh_cache is updated twice and contains duplicate set of ports
  Network vifs are built for all 6 ports and qemu xml is build based on that.
  Duplicate bridges in xml is complained by libvirt as device or resource busy.

  Version and environment:
  Devstack Master
