Public bug reported:

Description
===========

Look likes rescue may update instances.root_device_name if rescue image has different disk bus (image property hw_disk_bus) than instance.
This introduce a mimatch between device name and driver used for instance:

During instance config generation, nova guess the disk bus driver according table instance_system_metadata.image_hw_disk_bus,
and get root device name from table instances.root_device_name.
Because of this mismatch, cinder attachment may failed with the following error message in compute log:
 unable to execute QEMU command 'device_add': Duplicate ID 'virtio-disk0' for device

Probable solution is to avoid rescue action to update
instance.root_device_name

Steps to reproduce
==================

On a fresh master devstack:
openstack image save cirros-0.4.0-x86_64-disk --file /tmp/cirros-0.4.0-x86_64-disk.disk
#create a new image, but an scsi one:
openstack image create --container-format bare --disk-format qcow2  --file /tmp/cirros-0.4.0-x86_64-disk.disk --property hw_disk_bus='scsi' --property  hw_scsi_model='virtio-scsi' cirros-0.4.0-x86_64-scsi-disk
#create instance with default virtio driver:
openstack server create  --flavor m1.small --image cirros-0.4.0-x86_64-disk --nic net-id=private test
mysql> select root_device_name from instances where uuid='xxx'
/dev/vda
#rescue instance but with the scsi image: 
$openstack server rescue xxxx --image  cirros-0.4.0-x86_64-scsi-disk
mysql> select root_device_name from instances where uuid='xxx'
/dev/sda
$openstack server unrescue xxxx
# root_device_name is still on sda should be on vda according instance metadata
mysql> select root_device_name from instances where uuid='xxx'
/dev/sda
$virsh dumpxml instance-00000001 | grep "bus='virtio"
	  <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/>
	  <alias name='virtio-disk0'/>
# at the next hard reboot new xml is generated with scsi device name BUT with virtio driver.
$openstack server reboot --hard xxx
$virsh dumpxml instance-00000001 | grep -A 1 "bus='virtio"
	  <target dev='sda' bus='virtio'/>
	  <alias name='virtio-disk0'/>
$openstack volume create --size 10 test
$openstack server add volume 1c9b1582-5fc7-417a-a8a0-387e8833731f 0621430c-b0d2-4cca-8868-f86f36f1ef29
$sudo journalctl -u devstack@n-cpu.service | grep Duplicate

Error probably comes from the fact that nova lookup for next availiable virtio device based on name, which is  vda - virtio-disk0 (as root device is currently sda)
but because root device sda is already using virtio-disk0 it failed.


Expected result
===============
instance root_device_name should remain the same as before rescue/unrescue, regardless of image used for rescuing.


Actual result
=============
instance root_device_name is updated according the hw_disk_bus property for the image used during rescue(and never set back to original value)

** Affects: nova
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
