我们这里主要分析xml形成过程中的tap设备的写入以及_create_domain_and_network函数中与network有关的操作。

这里tap字符设置写到xml中的代码为self.vif_driver.get_config函数。

#/nova/virt/libvirt/vif.py:LibvirtGenericVIFDriver
    def get_config(self, instance, vif, image_meta,
                   inst_type, virt_type):
        vif_type = vif['type']

                   'vif': vif, 'virt_type': virt_type})

        if vif_type is None:
            raise exception.NovaException(
                _("vif_type parameter must be present "
                  "for this vif_driver implementation"))
        vif_slug = self._normalize_vif_type(vif_type)
        func = getattr(self, 'get_config_%s' % vif_slug, None)
        if not func:
            raise exception.NovaException(
                _("Unexpected vif_type=%s") % vif_type)
        return func(instance, vif, image_meta,
                    inst_type, virt_type)

这里vif_type为bridge，因为neutron采用的mechanism driver为linuxbridge，所以get_config中获取的func为get_config_bridge函数。

#/nova/virt/libvirt/vif.py:LibvirtGenericVIFDriver
    def get_config_bridge(self, instance, vif, image_meta,
                          inst_type, virt_type):
        """Get VIF configurations for bridge type."""
        conf = self.get_base_config(instance, vif, image_meta,
                                    inst_type, virt_type)

        designer.set_vif_host_backend_bridge_config(
            conf, self.get_bridge_name(vif),
            self.get_vif_devname(vif))

        mac_id = vif['address'].replace(':', '')
        name = "nova-instance-" + instance.name + "-" + mac_id
        if self.get_firewall_required(vif):
            conf.filtername = name
        designer.set_vif_bandwidth_config(conf, inst_type)

        return conf

#/nova/virt/libvirt/vif.py:LibvirtGenericVIFDriver
    def get_vif_devname(self, vif):
        if 'devname' in vif:
            return vif['devname']
        return ("nic" + vif['id'])[:network_model.NIC_NAME_LEN]

#/nova/virt/libvirt/vif.py:LibvirtGenericVIFDriver
    def get_bridge_name(self, vif):
        return vif['network']['bridge']

这里get_config_bridge函数利用neutron返回的port信息，构建vconfig.LibvirtConfigGuestInterface()对象所需的信息，最终形成的与network有关的xml信息为：

目前tap设备的xml信息已经形成(但还未实际被创建)，那么tap设备的实际创建应该在_create_domain_and_network函数中。

                                   power_on=True, reboot=False,

        for vol in block_device_mapping:

            if (not reboot and 'data' in connection_info and
                    'volume_id' in connection_info['data']):

                self.firewall_driver.apply_instance_filter(instance,

            LOG.warn(_LW('Timeout waiting for vif plugging callback for '
                         'instance %(uuid)s'), {'uuid': instance.uuid})

        # Resume only if domain has been paused
        if launch_flags & libvirt.VIR_DOMAIN_START_PAUSED:
            domain.resume()
        return domain

对于_create_domain_and_network函数，我们主要分析nova等待event 事件 (与neutron服务相关，即nova-event-callback机制，其blueprints链接为：https://blueprints.launchpad.net/neutron/+spec/nova-event-callback)

其代码流程为：在_create_domain_and_network函数的self.virtapi.wait_for_instance_event代码会创建一个定时器，等待neutron传递过来event事件，那么怎么才会触发neutron发送一个event给nova呢？

当nova调用底层libvirt接口创建VM时，将会根据xml信息去创建，此时会创建一个真实的tap设备(不是创建port信息到neutron数据库)，而有nova-compute服务的host的mechanism driver对应的agent会定时的检测device的状态(update或delete等)，对于mechanismdriver为linuxbridge的agent的默认定时检测时间为2s，当neutron-linuxbridge-agent服务(因为本环境采用的mechanism driver为linuxbridge)检测到有新的tap设备被增加，则会对该port设置相应的security group rule(利用linux系统自带的iptables去设置)，然后更新neutron数据库中相应的表信息。

而neutron数据库中的ports表在neutron-server服务启动时创建Ml2Plugin对象时，便被sqlalchemy自带的event进行监听，当ports表status字段被set时，neutron便会为nova准备event事件(并未发送)，待port表被after_update或after_insert后，neutron则会将准备好的event事件发送给nova。

neutron发送event事件给nova采用HTTP请求方式，且HTTP请求发送到nova-api的extension resource上，最终通过rpc调用nova-compute将收到event事件，当nova-compute收到event事件后，表示port相关信息准备完毕，nova结束等待。此时待VM处于running状态，表示VM创建完成。

首先，nova侧获取需要等待的event事件

#/nova/virt/libvirt/driver.py:LibvirtDriver
    def _get_neutron_events(self, network_info):
        # NOTE(danms): We need to collect any VIFs that are currently
        # down that we expect a down->up event for. Anything that is
        # already up will not undergo that transition, and for
        # anything that might be stale (cache-wise) assume it's
        # already up so we don't block on it.
        return [('network-vif-plugged', vif['id'])
                for vif in network_info if vif.get('active', True) is False]

这里，遍历从neutron中获得的network_info的vif中key为active的值，如果有任何一个vif的active的值为False，则需等待network-vif-pluggend事件。

下面看看nova侧的self.virtapi.wait_for_instance_event等待event的代码。

#/nova/compute/manager.py:ComputeVirtAPI
    @contextlib.contextmanager
    def wait_for_instance_event(self, instance, event_names, deadline=300,
                                error_callback=None):
        """Plan to wait for some events, run some code, then wait.

        This context manager will first create plans to wait for the
        provided event_names, yield, and then wait for all the scheduled
        events to complete.

        Note that this uses an eventlet.timeout.Timeout to bound the
        operation, so callers should be prepared to catch that
        failure and handle that situation appropriately.

        If the event is not received by the specified timeout deadline,
        eventlet.timeout.Timeout is raised.

        If the event is received but did not have a 'completed'
        status, a NovaException is raised.  If an error_callback is
        provided, instead of raising an exception as detailed above
        for the failure case, the callback will be called with the
        event_name and instance, and can return True to continue
        waiting for the rest of the events, False to stop processing,
        or raise an exception which will bubble up to the waiter.

        :param instance: The instance for which an event is expected
        :param event_names: A list of event names. Each element can be a
                            string event name or tuple of strings to
                            indicate (name, tag).
        :param deadline: Maximum number of seconds we should wait for all
                         of the specified events to arrive.
        :param error_callback: A function to be called if an event arrives

        """

        if error_callback is None:
            error_callback = self._default_error_callback
        events = {}
        for event_name in event_names:
            if isinstance(event_name, tuple):
                name, tag = event_name
                event_name = objects.InstanceExternalEvent.make_key(
                    name, tag)
            try:
                events[event_name] = (
                    self._compute.instance_events.prepare_for_instance_event(
                        instance, event_name))
            except exception.NovaException:
                error_callback(event_name, instance)
                # NOTE(danms): Don't wait for any of the events. They
                # should all be canceled and fired immediately below,
                # but don't stick around if not.
                deadline = 0
        yield
        with eventlet.timeout.Timeout(deadline):
            for event_name, event in events.items():
                actual_event = event.wait()
                if actual_event.status == 'completed':
                    continue
                decision = error_callback(event_name, instance)
                if decision is False:
                    break

在wait_for_instance_event函数被执行with开始时，将首先执行wait_for_instance_event函数yield之前的代码(具体查看python的@contextlib.contextmanager特性)，而yield之前的代码即为构造等待的event事件。待wait_for_instance_event函数被执行with内部的代码结束时，执行wait_for_instance_event函数yield之后的代码，即等待neutron发送nova所需的event事件。其等待时间为/etc/nova/nova.conf配置文件中的vif_plugging_timeout参数值，其默认值为300s。

如此，VM便开始调用底层libvirt的接口创建VM，同时nova侧去等待neutron侧发送network-vif-pluggend事件。

下面我们转到neutron侧，分析neutron-linuxbridge-agent服务如何检测tap设备以及neutron-server如何发送event事件给nova-api。

注意：阅读下面内容之前，先大致浏览一下我的《neutron-server的启动流程》的文章。

首先，我们需要找到neutron-linuxbridge-agent的入口。即查看setup.cfg文件。

#/neutron/plugins/linuxbridge/agent/linuxbridge_neutron_agent.py
def main():
    common_config.init(sys.argv[1:])

    common_config.setup_logging()
    try:
        interface_mappings = q_utils.parse_mappings(
            cfg.CONF.LINUX_BRIDGE.physical_interface_mappings)
    except ValueError as e:
        LOG.error(_LE("Parsing physical_interface_mappings failed: %s. "
                      "Agent terminated!"), e)
        sys.exit(1)
    LOG.info(_LI("Interface mappings: %s"), interface_mappings)

    polling_interval = cfg.CONF.AGENT.polling_interval
    agent = LinuxBridgeNeutronAgentRPC(interface_mappings,
                                       polling_interval)
    LOG.info(_LI("Agent initialized successfully, now running... "))
    agent.daemon_loop()
    sys.exit(0)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

这里首先解析/etc/neutron/plugins/linuxbridge/linuxbridge_conf.ini配置文件中的physical_interface_mappings参数。我的OpenStack环境设置的该参数如下。

这里physnet1用作数据网络，physnet2用作外部网络。

#/neutron/common/utils.py
def parse_mappings(mapping_list, unique_values=True):
    """Parse a list of mapping strings into a dictionary.

    :param mapping_list: a list of strings of the form '<key>:<value>'
    :param unique_values: values must be unique if True
    :returns: a dict mapping keys to values
    """
    mappings = {}
    for mapping in mapping_list:
        mapping = mapping.strip()
        if not mapping:
            continue
        split_result = mapping.split(':')
        if len(split_result) != 2:
            raise ValueError(_("Invalid mapping: '%s'") % mapping)
        key = split_result[0].strip()
        if not key:
            raise ValueError(_("Missing key in mapping: '%s'") % mapping)
        value = split_result[1].strip()
        if not value:
            raise ValueError(_("Missing value in mapping: '%s'") % mapping)
        if key in mappings:
            raise ValueError(_("Key %(key)s in mapping: '%(mapping)s' not "
                               "unique") % {'key': key, 'mapping': mapping})
        if unique_values and value in mappings.itervalues():
            raise ValueError(_("Value %(value)s in mapping: '%(mapping)s' "
                               "not unique") % {'value': value,
                                                'mapping': mapping})
        mappings[key] = value
    return mappings

最终返回interface_mappings是一个字典，其中key为physnet1和physnet2，相对应的value为eth1和eth2。

继续回到neutron-linuxbridge-agent的main函数。然后读取/etc/neutron/plugins/linuxbridge/linuxbridge_conf.ini配置文件中的polling_interval参数，用于创建LinuxBridgeNeutronAgentRPC对象。

#/neutron/plugins/linuxbridge/agent/linuxbridge_neutron_agent.py:LinuxBridgeNeutronAgentRPC
class LinuxBridgeNeutronAgentRPC(object):

    def __init__(self, interface_mappings, polling_interval):
        self.polling_interval = polling_interval
        self.setup_linux_bridge(interface_mappings)
        configurations = {'interface_mappings': interface_mappings}
        if self.br_mgr.vxlan_mode != lconst.VXLAN_NONE:
            configurations['tunneling_ip'] = self.br_mgr.local_ip
            configurations['tunnel_types'] = [p_const.TYPE_VXLAN]
            configurations['l2_population'] = cfg.CONF.VXLAN.l2_population
        self.agent_state = {
            'binary': 'neutron-linuxbridge-agent',
            'host': cfg.CONF.host,
            'topic': constants.L2_AGENT_TOPIC,
            'configurations': configurations,
            'agent_type': constants.AGENT_TYPE_LINUXBRIDGE,
            'start_flag': True}

        # stores received port_updates for processing by the main loop
        self.updated_devices = set()
        self.context = context.get_admin_context_without_session()
        self.plugin_rpc = agent_rpc.PluginApi(topics.PLUGIN)
        self.sg_plugin_rpc = sg_rpc.SecurityGroupServerRpcApi(topics.PLUGIN)
        self.sg_agent = sg_rpc.SecurityGroupAgentRpc(self.context,
                self.sg_plugin_rpc)
        self.setup_rpc(interface_mappings.values())

self.setup_linux_bridge(interface_mappings)语句时创建一个LinuxBridgeManager对象。

#/neutron/plugins/linuxbridge/agent/linuxbridge_neutron_agent.py:LinuxBridgeNeutronAgentRPC
    def setup_linux_bridge(self, interface_mappings):
        self.br_mgr = LinuxBridgeManager(interface_mappings)

#/neutron/plugins/linuxbridge/agent/linuxbridge_neutron_agent.py:LinuxBridgeManager
class LinuxBridgeManager(object):
    def __init__(self, interface_mappings):
        self.interface_mappings = interface_mappings
        self.ip = ip_lib.IPWrapper()
        # VXLAN related parameters:
        self.local_ip = cfg.CONF.VXLAN.local_ip
        self.vxlan_mode = lconst.VXLAN_NONE
        if cfg.CONF.VXLAN.enable_vxlan:
            self.local_int = self.get_interface_by_ip(self.local_ip)
            if self.local_int:
                self.check_vxlan_support()
            else:
                LOG.warning(_LW('VXLAN is enabled, a valid local_ip '
                                'must be provided'))
        # Store network mapping to segments
        self.network_map = {}

这里/etc/neutron/plugins/linuxbridge/linuxbridge_conf.ini配置文件中的enable_vxlan参数值为False。且LinuxBridgeManager对象的vxlan_mode = lconst.VXLAN_NONE(即‘not_supported‘)。

继续回到LinuxBridgeNeutronAgentRPC类的初始化函数，后续的操作便是创建RPC-client和RPC-server，对于RPC-server(client)所对应的另一端RPC-client(server)请查看《neutron-server的启动流程(二)》，这里简要分析self.setup_rpc(interface_mappings.values())语句执行流程。

#/neutron/plugins/linuxbridge/agent/linuxbridge_neutron_agent.py:LinuxBridgeNeutronAgentRPC
    def setup_rpc(self, physical_interfaces):
        if physical_interfaces:
            mac = utils.get_interface_mac(physical_interfaces[0])
        else:
            devices = ip_lib.IPWrapper().get_devices(True)
            if devices:
                mac = utils.get_interface_mac(devices[0].name)
            else:
                LOG.error(_LE("Unable to obtain MAC address for unique ID. "
                              "Agent terminated!"))
                exit(1)
        self.agent_id = '%s%s' % ('lb', (mac.replace(":", "")))
        LOG.info(_LI("RPC agent_id: %s"), self.agent_id)

        self.topic = topics.AGENT
        self.state_rpc = agent_rpc.PluginReportStateAPI(topics.PLUGIN)
        # RPC network init
        # Handle updates from service
        self.endpoints = [LinuxBridgeRpcCallbacks(self.context, self,
                                                  self.sg_agent)]
        # Define the listening consumers for the agent
        consumers = [[topics.PORT, topics.UPDATE],
                     [topics.NETWORK, topics.DELETE],
                     [topics.SECURITY_GROUP, topics.UPDATE]]
        if cfg.CONF.VXLAN.l2_population:
            consumers.append([topics.L2POPULATION,
                              topics.UPDATE, cfg.CONF.host])
        self.connection = agent_rpc.create_consumers(self.endpoints,
                                                     self.topic,
                                                     consumers)
        report_interval = cfg.CONF.AGENT.report_interval
        if report_interval:
            heartbeat = loopingcall.FixedIntervalLoopingCall(
                self._report_state)
            heartbeat.start(interval=report_interval)

这里涉及到neutron-linuxbridge-agent服务的一个RPC-server的创建和一个上报neutron-linuxbridge-agent服务状态(_report_state)的RPC-client的创建。

其中neutron-linuxbridge-agent服务的一个RPC-server的创建如下。

#/neutron/agent/rpc.py
def create_consumers(endpoints, prefix, topic_details, start_listening=True):
    """Create agent RPC consumers.

    :param endpoints: The list of endpoints to process the incoming messages.
    :param prefix: Common prefix for the plugin/agent message queues.
    :param topic_details: A list of topics. Each topic has a name, an
                          operation, and an optional host param keying the
                          subscription to topic.host for plugin calls.
    :param start_listening: if True, it starts the processing loop

    :returns: A common Connection.
    """

    connection = n_rpc.create_connection(new=True)
    for details in topic_details:
        topic, operation, node_name = itertools.islice(
            itertools.chain(details, [None]), 3)

        topic_name = topics.get_topic_name(prefix, topic, operation)
        connection.create_consumer(topic_name, endpoints, fanout=True)
        if node_name:
            node_topic_name = '%s.%s' % (topic_name, node_name)
            connection.create_consumer(node_topic_name,
                                       endpoints,
                                       fanout=False)
    if start_listening:
        connection.consume_in_threads()
    return connection

#/neutron/common/rpc.py:Connection
class Connection(object):

    def __init__(self):
        super(Connection, self).__init__()
        self.servers = []

    def create_consumer(self, topic, endpoints, fanout=False):
        target = oslo_messaging.Target(
            topic=topic, server=cfg.CONF.host, fanout=fanout)
        server = get_server(target, endpoints)
        self.servers.append(server)

    def consume_in_threads(self):
        for server in self.servers:
            server.start()
        return self.servers

    def close(self):
        for server in self.servers:
            server.stop()
        for server in self.servers:
            server.wait()

这里注意一个python语法。

我们知道itertools.islice返回的是一个迭代器类型，需执行next方法或隐式执行next方法(如for)才能获取所需的信息。而这里直接就获取到我们所需的信息了，是否有错？

这里没有错误，在python语法中，实际上不仅仅只是元祖和列表，只要对象是可迭代的，那么就可以执行分解操作(这里就是分解操作)，这包括字符串、文件、迭代器以及生成器。

这里/neutron/agent/rpc.py的create_consumers函数创建/neutron/common/rpc.py:Connection对象，调用Connection类的create_consumer函数创建RPC-server，通过consume_in_threads函数开启RPC-server等到RPC-client的请求。

上报neutron-linuxbridge-agent服务状态(_report_state)的RPC-client的创建如下。

#/neutron/plugins/linuxbridge/agent/linuxbridge_neutron_agent.py:LinuxBridgeNeutronAgentRPC
    def _report_state(self):
        try:
            devices = len(self.br_mgr.get_tap_devices())
            self.agent_state.get('configurations')['devices'] = devices
            self.state_rpc.report_state(self.context,
                                        self.agent_state)
            self.agent_state.pop('start_flag', None)
        except Exception:
            LOG.exception(_LE("Failed reporting state!"))

其中上报状态的时间间隔为30s(/etc/neutron/neutron.conf配置文件的report_interval参数值)。对于循环周期执行_report_state函数的函数为loopingcall.FixedIntervalLoopingCall，具体如何执行请参考《nova-computePeriodic tasks 机制》。

目前LinuxBridgeNeutronAgentRPC对象的创建便分析完成。下面便是执行LinuxBridgeNeutronAgentRPC类的daemon_loop函数去循环(时间间隔polling_interval为2s)检测tap的增加或删除。

#/neutron/plugins/linuxbridge/agent/linuxbridge_neutron_agent.py:LinuxBridgeNeutronAgentRPC
    def daemon_loop(self):
        LOG.info(_LI("LinuxBridge Agent RPC Daemon Started!"))
        device_info = None
        sync = True

        while True:
            start = time.time()

            device_info = self.scan_devices(previous=device_info, sync=sync)

            if sync:
                LOG.info(_LI("Agent out of sync with plugin!"))
                sync = False

            if self._device_info_has_changes(device_info):
                LOG.debug("Agent loop found changes! %s", device_info)
                try:
                    sync = self.process_network_devices(device_info)
                except Exception:
                    LOG.exception(_LE("Error in agent loop. Devices info: %s"),
                                  device_info)
                    sync = True

            # sleep till end of polling interval
            elapsed = (time.time() - start)
            if (elapsed < self.polling_interval):
                time.sleep(self.polling_interval - elapsed)
            else:
                LOG.debug("Loop iteration exceeded interval "
                          "(%(polling_interval)s vs. %(elapsed)s)!",
                          {'polling_interval': self.polling_interval,
                           'elapsed': elapsed})

首先是调用scan_devices函数来扫描host上的tap设备。

#/neutron/plugins/linuxbridge/agent/linuxbridge_neutron_agent.py:LinuxBridgeNeutronAgentRPC
    def scan_devices(self, previous, sync):
        device_info = {}

        # Save and reinitialise the set variable that the port_update RPC uses.
        # This should be thread-safe as the greenthread should not yield
        # between these two statements.
        updated_devices = self.updated_devices
        self.updated_devices = set()

        current_devices = self.br_mgr.get_tap_devices()
        device_info['current'] = current_devices

        if previous is None:
            # This is the first iteration of daemon_loop().
            previous = {'added': set(),
                        'current': set(),
                        'updated': set(),
                        'removed': set()}

        if sync:
            # This is the first iteration, or the previous one had a problem.
            # Re-add all existing devices.
            device_info['added'] = current_devices

            # Retry cleaning devices that may not have been cleaned properly.
            # And clean any that disappeared since the previous iteration.
            device_info['removed'] = (previous['removed'] | previous['current']
                                      - current_devices)

            # Retry updating devices that may not have been updated properly.
            # And any that were updated since the previous iteration.
            # Only update devices that currently exist.
            device_info['updated'] = (previous['updated'] | updated_devices
                                      & current_devices)
        else:
            device_info['added'] = current_devices - previous['current']
            device_info['removed'] = previous['current'] - current_devices
            device_info['updated'] = updated_devices & current_devices

        return device_info

将扫描的tap设备信息与上一次扫描的结果做比对，然记录下对比结果返回。其中它是怎么去扫描的呢？

#/neutron/plugins/linuxbridge/agent/linuxbridge_neutron_agent.py:LinuxBridgeManager
    def get_tap_devices(self):
        devices = set()
        for device in os.listdir(BRIDGE_FS):
            if device.startswith(constants.TAP_DEVICE_PREFIX):
                devices.add(device)
        return devices

#/neutron/plugins/linuxbridge/agent/linuxbridge_neutron_agent.py
BRIDGE_FS = "/sys/class/net/"

#/neutron/common/constants.py
# Device names start with "tap"
TAP_DEVICE_PREFIX = 'tap'

这里是在nova-compute服务所在host的/sys/class/net/目录下去查找以‘tap’开头的设备。如

此时调用get_tap_devices函数将获取最后3个以tap开头的设备。

这里我们关注的是创建VM时，tap设备增加的情况，所以这里neutron-linuxbridge-agent服务将检测到device发生变化，所以处理device设备。

#/neutron/plugins/linuxbridge/agent/linuxbridge_neutron_agent.py:LinuxBridgeNeutronAgentRPC
    def process_network_devices(self, device_info):
        resync_a = False
        resync_b = False

        self.sg_agent.prepare_devices_filter(device_info.get('added'))

        if device_info.get('updated'):
            self.sg_agent.refresh_firewall()

        # Updated devices are processed the same as new ones, as their
        # admin_state_up may have changed. The set union prevents duplicating
        # work when a device is new and updated in the same polling iteration.
        devices_added_updated = (set(device_info.get('added'))
                                 | set(device_info.get('updated')))
        if devices_added_updated:
            resync_a = self.treat_devices_added_updated(devices_added_updated)

        if device_info.get('removed'):
            resync_b = self.treat_devices_removed(device_info['removed'])
        # If one of the above operations fails => resync with plugin
        return (resync_a | resync_b)

在process_network_devices函数中，首先为新增的device增加security group rule，对于rule的制定的分析，我们在后续文章进行分析。因为本文分析的情况是device有增加，所以执行下面的函数。

#/neutron/plugins/linuxbridge/agent/linuxbridge_neutron_agent.py:LinuxBridgeNeutronAgentRPC
    def treat_devices_added_updated(self, devices):
        try:
            devices_details_list = self.plugin_rpc.get_devices_details_list(
                self.context, devices, self.agent_id)
        except Exception as e:
            LOG.debug("Unable to get port details for "
                      "%(devices)s: %(e)s",
                      {'devices': devices, 'e': e})
            # resync is needed
            return True

        for device_details in devices_details_list:
            device = device_details['device']
            LOG.debug("Port %s added", device)

            if 'port_id' in device_details:
                LOG.info(_LI("Port %(device)s updated. Details: %(details)s"),
                         {'device': device, 'details': device_details})
                if device_details['admin_state_up']:
                    # create the networking for the port
                    network_type = device_details.get('network_type')
                    if network_type:
                        segmentation_id = device_details.get('segmentation_id')
                    else:
                        # compatibility with pre-Havana RPC vlan_id encoding
                        vlan_id = device_details.get('vlan_id')
                        (network_type,
                         segmentation_id) = lconst.interpret_vlan_id(vlan_id)
                    if self.br_mgr.add_interface(
                        device_details['network_id'],
                        network_type,
                        device_details['physical_network'],
                        segmentation_id,
                        device_details['port_id']):

                        # update plugin about port status
                        self.plugin_rpc.update_device_up(self.context,
                                                         device,
                                                         self.agent_id,
                                                         cfg.CONF.host)
                    else:

                                                           self.agent_id,
                                                           cfg.CONF.host)
                else:
                    self.remove_port_binding(device_details['network_id'],
                                             device_details['port_id'])
            else:
                LOG.info(_LI("Device %s not defined on plugin"), device)
        return False

经测试发现，创建VM时，neutron数据库中ports表的status字段将由DOWN->BUILD->ACTIVE。其中nova与neutron交互创建ports信息时，其状态为DOWN，当在treat_devices_added_updated函数中调用get_devices_details_list函数将由DOWN更新到BUILD状态，最后在treat_devices_added_updated函数中调用update_device_up函数由BUILD更新到ACTIVE状态。

对于更新neutron数据库中的ports表的status状态都是调用update_port_status函数。

这里我创建VM时，增加的tap设备信息如下。

不过我查询很久，也未发现更新neutron数据库的ports的status的函数接口，当时本以为update_port_precommit会做相应的处理，但发现linuxbridge并未重新改函数，而是继承父类未做任何操作的update_port_precommit函数。不过测试发现的确是在update_port_status函数去更新neutron数据库的ports的status的，所以希望了解的大神告知，谢谢。

下面我们看看创建Ml2Plugin对象(这里neutron-linuxbridge-agent通过rpc调用，在执行neutron-server上的函数)时，在哪里创建的监听neutron数据库的ports表的呢？

#/neutron/db/db_base_plugin_v2.py:NeutronDbPluginV2

    __native_bulk_support = True
    __native_pagination_support = True
    __native_sorting_support = True

    def __init__(self):
        if cfg.CONF.notify_nova_on_port_status_changes:
            from neutron.notifiers import nova
            # NOTE(arosen) These event listeners are here to hook into when
            # port status changes and notify nova about their change.
            self.nova_notifier = nova.Notifier()
            event.listen(models_v2.Port, 'after_insert',
                         self.nova_notifier.send_port_status)
            event.listen(models_v2.Port, 'after_update',
                         self.nova_notifier.send_port_status)

                         self.nova_notifier.record_port_status_changed)

NeutronDbPluginV2类是Ml2Plugin类的父类，所以在创建Ml2Plugin对象时，将初始化NeutronDbPluginV2类。而NeutronDbPluginV2类则在初始化时根据/etc/neutron/neutron.conf配置文件中的notify_nova_on_port_status_changes参数值去决定是否通知nova。

首先，当neutron数据库的ports表的status被设置时，如BUILD->ACTIVE，将触发调用self.nova_notifier.record_port_status_changed函数。

#/neutron/notifiers/nova.py:Notifier
    def record_port_status_changed(self, port, current_port_status,
                                   previous_port_status, initiator):
        """Determine if nova needs to be notified due to port status change.

        if not port.device_id:
            LOG.debug("device_id is not set on port yet.")
            return

        if not port.id:
            LOG.warning(_LW("Port ID not set! Nova will not be notified of "
                            "port status change."))
            return

        # We only want to notify about nova ports.
        if not self._is_compute_port(port):
            return

        # We notify nova when a vif is unplugged which only occurs when
        # the status goes from ACTIVE to DOWN.
        if (previous_port_status == constants.PORT_STATUS_ACTIVE and
                current_port_status == constants.PORT_STATUS_DOWN):
            event_name = VIF_UNPLUGGED

        # We only notify nova when a vif is plugged which only occurs
        # when the status goes from:
        # NO_VALUE/DOWN/BUILD -> ACTIVE/ERROR.
        elif (previous_port_status in [sql_attr.NO_VALUE,
                                       constants.PORT_STATUS_DOWN,
                                       constants.PORT_STATUS_BUILD]
              and current_port_status in [constants.PORT_STATUS_ACTIVE,
                                          constants.PORT_STATUS_ERROR]):
            event_name = VIF_PLUGGED
        # All the remaining state transitions are of no interest to nova
        else:
            LOG.debug("Ignoring state change previous_port_status: "
                      "%(pre_status)s current_port_status: %(cur_status)s"
                      " port_id %(id)s",
                      {'pre_status': previous_port_status,
                       'cur_status': current_port_status,
                       'id': port.id})
            return

        port._notify_event = (
            {'server_uuid': port.device_id,
             'name': event_name,
             'status': NEUTRON_NOVA_EVENT_STATUS_MAP.get(current_port_status),
             'tag': port.id})

record_port_status_changed函数将记录发送给nova的event事件，这里只是记录event事件，并未真正发送该event事件给nova。

不过record_port_status_changed函数只会将两类event事件通知给nova：

1. ports表的status由ACTIVE->DOWN.

2. ports表的status由NO_VALUE/DOWN/BUILD -> ACTIVE/ERROR

所以在创建VM时，neutron-linuxbridge-agent会将neutron数据库的ports表的status由DOWN->BUILD->ACTIVE。但最终通知nova的event事件是由BUILD->ACTIVE触发的。而该event事件为：

在neutron数据库的ports表更新完成后(after_update)，则真正发送event事件给nova是执行self.nova_notifier.send_port_status函数完成的。

#/neutron/notifiers/nova.py:Notifier
    def send_port_status(self, mapper, connection, port):
        event = getattr(port, "_notify_event", None)
        self.batch_notifier.queue_event(event)
        port._notify_event = None

send_port_status函数中event = getattr(port, "_notify_event",None)为:

        port._notify_event = (
            {'server_uuid': port.device_id,
             'name': event_name,
             'status': NEUTRON_NOVA_EVENT_STATUS_MAP.get(current_port_status),
             'tag': port.id})
NEUTRON_NOVA_EVENT_STATUS_MAP = {constants.PORT_STATUS_ACTIVE: 'completed',
                                 constants.PORT_STATUS_ERROR: 'failed',
                                 constants.PORT_STATUS_DOWN: 'completed'}

由于ports表的status由BUILD->ACTIVE，所以port._notify_event中的status为completed。

同时send_port_status函数中的self.batch_notifier是在/neutron/notifiers/nova.py的Notifier类初始化的时候创建的一个BatchNotifier对象，如下。

#/neutron/notifiers/nova.py:Notifier
class Notifier(object):

    def __init__(self):
        # FIXME(jamielennox): A notifier is being created for each Controller
        # and each Notifier is handling it's own auth. That means that we are
        # authenticating the exact same thing len(controllers) times. This
        # should be an easy thing to optimize.
        auth = ks_auth.load_from_conf_options(cfg.CONF, 'nova')
        endpoint_override = None

        if not auth:
            LOG.warning(_LW('Authenticating to nova using nova_admin_* options'
                            ' is deprecated. This should be done using'

            if cfg.CONF.nova_admin_tenant_id:
                endpoint_override = "%s/%s" % (cfg.CONF.nova_url,
                                               cfg.CONF.nova_admin_tenant_id)

            auth = DefaultAuthPlugin(
                auth_url=cfg.CONF.nova_admin_auth_url,

                tenant_name=cfg.CONF.nova_admin_tenant_name,
                endpoint_override=endpoint_override)

        session = ks_session.Session.load_from_conf_options(cfg.CONF,
                                                            'nova',
                                                            auth=auth)

        # NOTE(andreykurilin): novaclient.v1_1 was renamed to v2 and there is
        # no way to import the contrib module directly without referencing v2,
        # which would only work for novaclient >= 2.21.0.
        novaclient_cls = nova_client.get_client_class(NOVA_API_VERSION)
        server_external_events = importutils.import_module(
            novaclient_cls.__module__.replace(
                ".client", ".contrib.server_external_events"))

        self.nclient = novaclient_cls(
            session=session,
            region_name=cfg.CONF.nova.region_name,
            extensions=[server_external_events])
        self.batch_notifier = batch_notifier.BatchNotifier(
            cfg.CONF.send_events_interval, self.send_events)

其中send_events_interval为/etc/neutron/neutron.conf配置文件中的send_events_interval参数值。如下

#/neutron/notifiers/batch_notifier.py:BatchNotifier
class BatchNotifier(object):
    def __init__(self, batch_interval, callback):
        self.pending_events = []
        self._waiting_to_send = False
        self.callback = callback
        self.batch_interval = batch_interval

    def queue_event(self, event):
        """Called to queue sending an event with the next batch of events.

        Sending events individually, as they occur, has been problematic as it
        can result in a flood of sends.  Previously, there was a loopingcall
        thread that would send batched events on a periodic interval.  However,
        maintaining a persistent thread in the loopingcall was also
        problematic.

        This replaces the loopingcall with a mechanism that creates a
        short-lived thread on demand when the first event is queued.  That
        thread will sleep once for the same batch_duration to allow other
        events to queue up in pending_events and then will send them when it
        wakes.

        If a thread is already alive and waiting, this call will simply queue
        the event and return leaving it up to the thread to send it.

        :param event: the event that occurred.
        """
        if not event:
            return

        self.pending_events.append(event)

        if self._waiting_to_send:
            return

        self._waiting_to_send = True

        def last_out_sends():
            eventlet.sleep(self.batch_interval)
            self._waiting_to_send = False
            self._notify()

        eventlet.spawn_n(last_out_sends)

    def _notify(self):
        if not self.pending_events:
            return

        batched_events = self.pending_events
        self.pending_events = []
        self.callback(batched_events)

所以当send_port_status函数执行self.batch_notifier.queue_event(event)将调用BatchNotifier类的queue_event函数，queue_event函数将开启一个新的线程去执行last_out_sends函数，最终调用BatchNotifier类初始化时指定的callback函数。这里的callback函数为/neutron/notifiers/nova.py的Notifier类的send_events函数。

#/neutron/notifiers/nova.py:Notifier
    def send_events(self, batched_events):
        LOG.debug("Sending events: %s", batched_events)
        try:
            response = self.nclient.server_external_events.create(
                batched_events)
        except nova_exceptions.NotFound:
            LOG.warning(_LW("Nova returned NotFound for event: %s"),

                LOG.error(_LE("Error response returned from nova: %s"),
                          response)

            response_error = False
            for event in response:

                except KeyError:
                    response_error = True
                    continue

                    LOG.warning(_LW("Nova event: %s returned with failed "
                                    "status"), event)
                else:
                    LOG.info(_LI("Nova event response: %s"), event)

                LOG.error(_LE("Error response returned from nova: %s"),
                          response)

send_events函数将通过HTTP请求的方式将event事件发送给nova。

通过nova-api的WSGI架构将neutron的HTTP请求路由到ServerExternalEventsController类的create函数。

最终将通过RPC调用执行nova-compute的external_instance_event函数。

        events_by_host = {}
        hosts_by_instance = {}
        for instance in instances:
            instances_on_host = instances_by_host.get(instance.host, [])
            instances_on_host.append(instance)
            instances_by_host[instance.host] = instances_on_host

            events_on_host = events_by_host.get(host, [])
            events_on_host.append(event)
            events_by_host[host] = events_on_host

        for host in instances_by_host:
            # TODO(salv-orlando): Handle exceptions raised by the rpc api layer
            # in order to ensure that a failure in processing events on a host
            # will not prevent processing events on other hosts
            self.compute_rpcapi.external_instance_event(
                context, instances_by_host[host], events_by_host[host])

#/nova/compute/rpcapi.py:ComputeAPI
    def external_instance_event(self, ctxt, instances, events):
        cctxt = self.client.prepare(
            server=_compute_host(None, instances[0]),
            version=self._compat_ver('4.0', '3.23'))
        cctxt.cast(ctxt, 'external_instance_event', instances=instances,
                   events=events)

#/nova/compute/manager.py:ComputeManager
    @wrap_exception()
    def external_instance_event(self, context, instances, events):
        # NOTE(danms): Some event types are handled by the manager, such
        # as when we're asked to update the instance's info_cache. If it's

        # unblock them if so.
        for event in events:
            instance = [inst for inst in instances
                        if inst.uuid == event.instance_uuid][0]
            LOG.debug('Received event %(event)s',
                      {'event': event.key},

            else:
                self._process_instance_event(instance, event)

neutron侧发送过来的event事件的name为：

所以执行_process_instance_event函数。

#/nova/compute/manager.py:ComputeManager
    def _process_instance_event(self, instance, event):
        _event = self.instance_events.pop_instance_event(instance, event)
        if _event:
            LOG.debug('Processing event %(event)s',
                      {'event': event.key}, instance=instance)
            _event.send(event)

这里执行_event.send(event)代码便使得wait_for_instance_event函数不再wait。我们具体可以分析一下wait_for_instance_event函数如何等待该event事件的。

#/nova/compute/manager.py:ComputeVirtAPI
    @contextlib.contextmanager
    def wait_for_instance_event(self, instance, event_names, deadline=300,
                                error_callback=None):
        """Plan to wait for some events, run some code, then wait.

        This context manager will first create plans to wait for the
        provided event_names, yield, and then wait for all the scheduled

        Note that this uses an eventlet.timeout.Timeout to bound the
        operation, so callers should be prepared to catch that
        failure and handle that situation appropriately.

        If the event is not received by the specified timeout deadline,
        eventlet.timeout.Timeout is raised.

        If the event is received but did not have a 'completed'
        status, a NovaException is raised.  If an error_callback is
        provided, instead of raising an exception as detailed above
        for the failure case, the callback will be called with the
        event_name and instance, and can return True to continue
        waiting for the rest of the events, False to stop processing,
        or raise an exception which will bubble up to the waiter.

        :param instance: The instance for which an event is expected
        :param event_names: A list of event names. Each element can be a

                         of the specified events to arrive.

        """

        if error_callback is None:
            error_callback = self._default_error_callback
        events = {}
        for event_name in event_names:
            if isinstance(event_name, tuple):
                name, tag = event_name
                event_name = objects.InstanceExternalEvent.make_key(

                        instance, event_name))
            except exception.NovaException:

                    continue
                decision = error_callback(event_name, instance)
                if decision is False:
                    break

创建VM时，调用wait_for_instance_event函数传递进来的event_names是包含(‘network-vif-plugged‘, vif[‘id‘])元祖的列表。然后执行objects.InstanceExternalEvent.make_key语句组件event_name为network-vif-plugged-vif[‘id‘]这种形式。

#/nova/objects/external_events.py:InstanceExternalEvent
# TODO(berrange): Remove NovaObjectDictCompat
class InstanceExternalEvent(obj_base.NovaObject,
                            obj_base.NovaObjectDictCompat):
    # Version 1.0: Initial version
    #              Supports network-changed and vif-plugged
    VERSION = '1.0'

    fields = {
        'instance_uuid': fields.UUIDField(),
        'name': fields.StringField(),
        'status': fields.StringField(),
        'tag': fields.StringField(nullable=True),
        'data': fields.DictOfStringsField(),
        }

    @staticmethod
    def make_key(name, tag=None):
        if tag is not None:
            return '%s-%s' % (name, tag)
        else:
            return name

然后通过prepare_for_instance_event函数构建events字典。

#/nova/compute/manager.py:InstanceEvents
    def prepare_for_instance_event(self, instance, event_name):
        """Prepare to receive an event for an instance.

        This will register an event for the given instance that we will
        wait on later. This should be called before initiating whatever

        object should be wait()'d on to ensure completion.

        :param instance: the instance for which the event will be generated
        :param event_name: the name of the event we're expecting
        :returns: an event object that should be wait()'d on
        """
        if self._events is None:
            # NOTE(danms): We really should have a more specific error
            # here, but this is what we use for our default error case
            raise exception.NovaException('In shutdown, no new events '
                                          'can be scheduled')

        @utils.synchronized(self._lock_name(instance))
        def _create_or_get_event():
            if instance.uuid not in self._events:
                self._events.setdefault(instance.uuid, {})
            return self._events[instance.uuid].setdefault(
                event_name, eventlet.event.Event())
        LOG.debug('Preparing to wait for external event %(event)s',
                  {'event': event_name}, instance=instance)
        return _create_or_get_event()

最终prepare_for_instance_event函数构建的self._events为类似如下形式:

而prepare_for_instance_event函数返回为eventlet.event.Event()对象。

待events事件构建完成后，便将使用with语句执行wait_for_instance_event函数下的语句执行完毕后，再执行wait_for_instance_event函数yield之后的等待event事件语句。

所以当neutron侧发送nova侧等待的event事件，触发nova侧执行InstanceEvents类的pop_instance_event函数。

#/nova/compute/manager.py:InstanceEvents
    def pop_instance_event(self, instance, event):
        """Remove a pending event from the wait list.

        This will remove a pending event from the wait list so that it
        can be used to signal the waiters to wake up.

        :param event: the nova.objects.external_event.InstanceExternalEvent
                      that describes the event
        :returns: the eventlet.event.Event object on which the waiters
                  are blocked
        """
        no_events_sentinel = object()
        no_matching_event_sentinel = object()

        @utils.synchronized(self._lock_name(instance))
        def _pop_event():
            if not self._events:
                LOG.debug('Unexpected attempt to pop events during shutdown',
                          instance=instance)
                return no_events_sentinel
            events = self._events.get(instance.uuid)
            if not events:
                return no_events_sentinel
            _event = events.pop(event.key, None)
            if not events:
                del self._events[instance.uuid]
            if _event is None:
                return no_matching_event_sentinel
            return _event

        result = _pop_event()
        if result is no_events_sentinel:
            LOG.debug('No waiting events found dispatching %(event)s',
                      {'event': event.key},
                      instance=instance)
            return None
        elif result is no_matching_event_sentinel:
            LOG.debug('No event matching %(event)s in %(events)s',
                      {'event': event.key,
                       'events': self._events.get(instance.uuid, {}).keys()},
                      instance=instance)
            return None
        else:
            return result

待pop_instance_event函数获取到event后，将其返回给_process_instance_event函数，然后执行_event.send(event)语句，使得wait_for_instance_event函数yield之后的actual_event =event.wait()语句不再等待，且获取到neutron侧发送过来的event事件。

这样nova侧等待neutron侧的event事件机制(nova-event-callback机制)便分析完毕。再次总结一下：

1.创建VM时， nova-compute服务调用wait_for_instance_event函数等待neutron侧发送event事件。

2. neutron的neutron-linuxbridge-agent定时检测tap设备的增加或删除，当创建VM时，将创建新的tap设备，此时将更新neutron数据库中的ports表，而neutron-server服务创建core_plugin时，将利用sqlalchemy自带的event对neutron数据库中的ports表进行监视，当ports表发生变化时，neutron-server将通过HTTP请求的方式发送event事件给nova。

3. nova侧收到neutron侧发送的event事件，便结束等待，继续创建VM下面的操作。
