ceph image clone to volume not marked as bootable

[Edward Hope-Morley]

If, using a Ceph backend for Cinder and Glance, you create a volume from a Glance image, the request is actioned in one of two ways. If Glance does not supply sufficient information to Cinder, a full copy is made of the Glance image. Otherwise, Ceph uses it's copy-on-write capability to do a clone. If a full copy is done, the volume is marked as Bootable=True but if a clone is done it is not.

This does not appear to break booting from volume at present but the status displayed by the cinder client is broken.

This should be a simple matter of making sure that the Glance metadata is saved with the volume when the clone is finished.

    Fix incorrect status for volume clone from image

    If, when using a Ceph as a backend for Cinder and Glance, you
    create a volume from a Glance image, the request is actioned
    in one of two ways; (1) if Glance does not supply sufficient
    information to Cinder, a full copy is made of the Glance
    image or (2) Ceph uses it's copy-on-write capability to do a
    clone. If a full copy is done, the volume is marked as
    Bootable=True but if a clone is done it is not.

    This does not appear to break nova boot from volume at present
    but the status displayed by the cinder client is incorrect.

    Set bootable flag for volume cloned from image

    In previous code we don't set the bootable flag for volume
    cloned from image. This does not appear to break booting
    from volume at present but the status displayed by the cinder
    client is broken.

    The bug is reported and fixed several months ago(bug #1185533)
    but the author doesn't provide unit test with the patch. Now it
    has been broken again by somebody else.The patch re-fixed this
    bug together with unit tests.

    Also add a function named _handle_bootable_volume_glance_meta,
    it is a combination of enable_bootable_flag and glance_metadata
    handling. There are 3 kinds of volume creation tasks may required
    to copy/fetch the glance metadata. In previous code every kind of
    task have its own handling code, this patch consolidate them together
    to share some common code.

    fixed bug #1211272
    fixed bug #1185533
