nova event机制分析

本文主要分析Nova的一个event机制，目前主要用于VIF plugin时的notification，可以实现Nova 和 Neutron之间VIF 状态信息的交互。

vif_plugging_timeout配置参数的解释，用于定义创建VM时等待VIF准备好的时间

    cfg.BoolOpt('vif_plugging_is_fatal',
                default=True,
                help="Fail instance boot if vif plugging fails"),
    cfg.IntOpt('vif_plugging_timeout',
               default=300,
               help='Number of seconds to wait for neutron vif plugging '
                    'events to arrive before continuing or failing (see '
                    'vif_plugging_is_fatal). If this is set to zero and '
                    'vif_plugging_is_fatal is False, events should not '
                    'be expected to arrive at all.'),

_create_domain_and_network():

        timeout = CONF.vif_plugging_timeout
        if (self._conn_supports_start_paused and #判断是不是支持开机是暂停，主要是virt_type是否是kvm or qemu, 此处进行判断的原因是vm需要暂停一下等待linux bridge创建好并把vm连接到br-int上去
            utils.is_neutron() and not
            vifs_already_plugged and power_on and timeout):
            events = self._get_neutron_events(network_info)#返回所有vif的active属性为False的项
        else:
            events = []

        launch_flags = events and libvirt.VIR_DOMAIN_START_PAUSED or 0
        domain = None
        try:
            with self.virtapi.wait_for_instance_event(#上下文管理
                    instance, events, deadline=timeout,
