Title:
  Image-cache deleting active swap backing images

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Fix Released
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova) kilo series:

Bug description:
  Version: 1:2015.1.0-0ubuntu1~cloud0 (Kilo)

  I am having issues with backing images of disk.swap being deleted from
  the image cache.

  Here is part of the nova-compute log, although multiple instances have
  disk.swap with swap_256 as the base image, the image cache repeatedly
  tries to delete it:

  I am NOT using shared storage for the instances directory, it is
  sitting on the local filesystem, and instances on the same host node
  are using the swap base file that the image cache is deleting.

  As far as I can tell, it is attempting to delete it immediately after
  the swap image is created. Swap backing images of the form
  swap_512_512 are not deleted though (as opposed to just swap_512; I
  couldn't figure out what the difference is).

  Reproduce: Create volume with swap disk
  Temporary solution: image_cache_manager_interval = -1
