Bug Description

When DHCP agent creates port from neutron and another create port request is received, ResourceClosedError occurs in sqlalchemy.

this may be related to bug #1282922 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1282922
Above bug is related to nec plugin and it is mentioned that other plugins may be affected.
This error occurred in ML2 plugin both for create and delete ports.
Tested using 2014.3 Icehouse

note-2:
mechanism driver (ml2_dpdk???) seems to do communication in precommit. So it is a problem of mechanism driver's side.

note-5,6:
cannot be analized for lack of information.

note-8:
create_port of plumgrid plugin seems to do communication with holding transaction. So it is a problem of plumgrid plugin.

AFAIK communication with holding transaction seems like a perfectly valid use case. Moving it out will only be working around the issue. Until the actual problem is triaged and fixed, PLUMgrid plugin is locking(temporary) to avoid this race.

I also saw a problem like this when developing my project's mechanism driver. Please see the commit here, which fixed the problem: https://github.com/Metaswitch/calico-neutron/commit/7081cd08fac62519fd.

The commit message has a lot of detail about what I thought the problem was, so please take a look at that.

Nell Jerram (neil-jerram) wrote :

Is there any overall information available about what this mechanism driver (named 'mech_driver') is doing?

Is it a coincidence that the DHCP agent makes an RPC call to create the DHCP port at the same time as the create_port_postcommit is failing? Or is it something like:
- mech_driver is asked to create a port
- as part of that, it sends some signal to the compute host, which causes the DHCP agent there to try to create the DHCP port
- an SSL error occurs in the communication between the mech_driver and the compute host, causing the mech_driver create_port operation to fail
- while that failure is being handled, the create_port comes in from the DHCP agent, leading to the ResourceClosedError.

Is the mech_driver passing the DB context to the compute host, and the compute host's DHCP agent using that same context when asking to create the DHCP port? (Is that even possible? I'm afraid I don't yet understand DB contexts/sessions well enough to know.)

I'm not yet clear, though, on the scope. Do we think this bug is specific to a particular mechanism driver? If so, where can I see the source code for that driver? There isn't a driver named 'mech_driver' in the current Neutron tip, AFAICS.

Eugene Nikanorov (enikanorov) wrote :

Neil, neutron-server and DHCP agent doesn't use same context because they are essentially different processes.

I think this might be an issue with some racy deletion of resources, however I'm not sure about port creation.

Hi again all.

OK, I need to know ASAP who thinks they're affected by this bug, and to see their mechanism driver code, please.

My current understanding is that this problem only occurs with out-of-tree mechanism driver code - in case I've got that wrong, please do let me know. On the other hand, if I'm right, surely this is _not_ a release-critical bug for Neutron for Kilo?

Kyle Mestery (mestery) wrote :

Neil, I think you're right in that this is not a release critical bug for Kilo. I'm moving the priority down to High and moving this out of Kilo for now. I hope Eugene can provide you some more answers on the context of this. But since it does appear to affect the NEC plugin according to the report, we won't hold the release for this.

Discussed this just now with enikanorov on IRC, and we believe that the underlying cause of this bug has probably been fixed by some other change since the original report.

Hence setting this back to Incomplete. If anyone does see this again on up to date code, please add details here, including logs and the involved mechanism driver code, and I'll be happy to take a further look.
