Fixed In Version: openstack-cinder-7.0.3-15.el7ost
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cinder uses a synchronization lock to prevent duplicate entries in the volume image cache. Prior to this update, the scope of the lock was too broad and caused simultaneous requests to create a volume from an image to compete for the lock, even when the image cache was not enabled. With this update, the synchronization lock has been updated to minimize the scope of the lock, and to take effect only when the volume image cache is enabled. As a result, simultaneous requests to create a volume from an image run in parallel when the volume image cache is disabled. When the volume image cache is enabled, locking is minimized to ensure only a single entry is created in the cache.

A synchronization lock was added to fix a problem that allowed multiple redundant entries in the image volume cache [1],[2].

[1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/cinder/+bug/1649636
[2] https://review.openstack.org/446590

Unfortunately, the scope of the lock is too broad and impacts performance in a couple of scenarios.

1) When the cache is not enabled, simultaneous attempts to download the image from glance are serialized.
2) Even when the volume image is cached, simultaneous requests to create a volume from the image are serialized.

The scope of the lock needs to be reduced to only serialize the portion of the process that results in an entry being added to the cache.

Patch has merged upstream, and needs to be backported to OSP.

This bugzilla has been removed from the Target Release until it has been release planned with 3-acks provided.

raising needinfo? to rhos-flags@ asking for acks to get POST Bug to have proper acks and release flag before it lands.  If it doesn't have necessary bits or can't be acked bug might need to be moved off of POST until it's clear what is needed to move the bug forward.

The upstream patch merged in time to be included in the latest OSP-13 puddle.
