[Bug 1832925] [NEW] Class neutron.common.utils.Timer is not thread safe

 

Public bug reported:

In "Timer" the method used to control the timeout of the class context
is not thread safe. If two different threads running in the same process
set signal.signal, the last one will prevail in favor of the first one:

  signal.signal(signal.SIGALRM, self._timeout_handler)
  signal.alarm(self._timeout)


Another method, thread safe, to control the class timeout should be implemented.

This error can be seen in [1].
