Bug Description

Neutron does not monkey patch in neutron/__init__.py. Since oslo.concurrency.processutils depends on time being patched at the moment of its import, testr test loader may fail depending on whether eventlet was patched before the import or after. It's not the best solution, so let's try to postpone the check till execute() call.

I believe this is working as intended, and catching a legitimate bug in the calling code. See my comments on https://review.openstack.org/#/c/153216/ for a full explanation.

    monkey patch stdlib before importing other modules

    Some oslo libraries assume that stdlib is already patched when
    they are imported (e.g. oslo_concurrency.processutils tests the
    'time' module for monkey_patching to detect which 'subprocess'
    module to import.

    This can cause issues when things like test frameworks import
    modules that monkey_patch, as the order imports are made can break
    this kind of check. It is always good to monkey patch as soon as
    possible, hence trying to do the patching in neutron/__init__.py.

    This is an alternative to https://review.openstack.org/#/c/153225/
    which just patches neutron/tests/__init__.py. Unfortunately, just
    monkey_patching in tests/__init__.py didn't fix all of the issues
    I ran into. For example, tempest tests were failing with timeouts.

    Don't monkey patch netns_cleanup

    There is no reason to monkey patch the tool (it does not rely on any
    special kind of model of concurrency). It's better to avoid eventlet
    wherever possible, and there are discussions on whether we want to start
    dropping eventlet usage agent by agent, so it's worth keeping as much of
    code out of monkey business.

    tests: monkey patch stdlib before importing other modules

    Some oslo libraries assume that stdlib is already patched when they are
    imported (f.e. oslo.concurrency.processutils currently checks whether
    time module is monkey patched on import to detect which subprocess
    module should be used).

    For services, we achieve this by moving monkey_patch() calls as high in
    import list as possible. But for tests, we don't control the order in
    which testr loads test cases. So to be on safe side, we should make sure
    any attempt to load a test case from the tree results in eventlet patch.

    We can't put the monkey_patch() call into e.g. neutron/__init__.py to
    reuse it both for tests and for services, because in that case we may
    break flake8 that loads hacking checks from neutron.* namespace and
    relies on proper (unpatched) subprocess module.

    Monkey patch all the code inside neutron/cmd/eventlet/...

    The directory is initially empty.

    We are going to maintain entry points for all services and agents that
    run in eventlet mode in this directory, and monkey patch them from
    there, instead of spreading monkey_patch() calls throughout the library.

    This will guarantee us that all the services that are maintained in this
    part of the tree monkey patch stdlib properly, before doing any other
    imports.

    This is also useful to track which parts of the project require
    eventlet. This will later help to migrate services one by one out of
    eventlet to real threads in case we decide to move this direction.

    Moved several services into neutron.cmd.eventlet

    - dhcp-agent
    - l3-agent
    - metadata-agent
    - metadata-proxy
    - metering-agent
    - server

    This allows us to remove explicit monkey_patch() call.

    Also removed ability to execute neutron-server avoiding a corresponding
    entry point.
