The patch was proposed against stable/mitaka but needs to be proposed
against master first, then backported to stable/newton and finally
stable/mitaka if that's your target release.

** Also affects: nova/newton

Title:
  nova-compute unexpected input/output errors on starting instances (NFS
  + image-cache)

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  In Progress
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova) mitaka series:
  In Progress
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova) newton series:
  New

Bug description:
  Our setup consists of multiple controllers and multiple hypervisors.
  Our shared storage for the instances is on a nfs 4.1 export.  Using
  Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Openstack Mitaka

  When we launch an instance, nova updates the mtime for the _base image to let 
the image cache manager know the image is actively used.  I think this was 
added here: 
https://review.openstack.org/gitweb?p=openstack/nova.git;a=commitdiff;h=fb6ca3e7c8a38328d384cd41c061ded6623dac90
  Because of this, in our setup, we are seeing unexpected input/output errors:

  Stderr: u"/bin/touch: setting times of
  '/var/lib/nova/instances/_base/79e34519bacb47ad6f64c4baca4d33fd5c57d34d':
  Input/output error

  A full trace can be found here:
  http://paste.openstack.org/show/570161/

  This error particularly shows itself when launching multiple instances
  at once.

  Also, because of this error, the instances are rescheduled.  The assigned 
neutron ports, however, are not deleted.  This results in multiple ip's 
assigned to the instances, with only one of them UP.  This also results in 
attached floating ip's not working ..
  This is similar to https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1609526, nova should 
tell neutron, either to delete the unused port, or update it instead of 
creating a new one.
