Nova attach volume的流程分析

作为个人学习笔记分享，有任何问题欢迎交流！

（2013.7.5更新）

Nova中volume挂载流程分为两部分：挂载命令的发送和接收处理

1 挂载命令的发送

1.1提供API接口

代码来源：nova/api/openstack/contrib/volumes.py:VolumeAttachmentController.create()：

@wsgi.serializers(xml=VolumeAttachmentTemplate)
    def create(self, req, server_id, body):
        """Attach a volume to an instance."""
        context = req.environ['nova.context']
        authorize(context)
        authorize_attach(context, action='create')

        if not self.is_valid_body(body, 'volumeAttachment'):
            raise exc.HTTPUnprocessableEntity()
#从请求中获取卷ID和设备名称
        volume_id = body['volumeAttachment']['volumeId'] 
        device = body['volumeAttachment'].get('device')

        self._validate_volume_id(volume_id)

        msg = _("Attach volume %(volume_id)s to instance %(server_id)s"
                " at %(device)s") % locals()
        LOG.audit(msg, context=context)
		
        try:
            instance = self.compute_api.get(context, server_id)#compute_api=compute.API(),compute.API()即为/nova/compute/__init__.py:API(*args,**kwargs)，该函数导入了一个类，被导入的类是由_compute_opts中compute_api_class决定的，compute_api_class的默认值为：nova.compute.api.API，所以get()既是nova/compute/api.py:API.get()，根据实例ID获取一个实例。
            device = self.compute_api.attach_volume(context, instance,
                                                    volume_id, device)#挂载一个存在的卷到一个存在的实例
        except exception.NotFound:
            raise exc.HTTPNotFound()
        except exception.InstanceInvalidState as state_error:
            common.raise_http_conflict_for_instance_invalid_state(state_error,
                    'attach_volume')

1.2发送RPCcast异步请求，给instance挂载上volume_id,挂载点在device.

代码来源：nova/compute/api.py:API.attach_volume(context, instance, volume_id,device)

#volume_api=nova/volume/cinder/api.py:API
  try:
            volume = self.volume_api.get(context, volume_id)通过cinderclient从cinder获取volume.
            self.volume_api.check_attach(context, volume, instance=instance)#检查volume是否可用
            self.volume_api.reserve_volume(context, volume)
            self.compute_rpcapi.attach_volume(context, instance=instance,
                    volume_id=volume_id, mountpoint=device)#compute_rpcapi=nova/compute/rpcapi.py:ComputeAPI
        except Exception:
            with excutils.save_and_reraise_exception():
                self.db.block_device_mapping_destroy_by_instance_and_device(
                        context, instance['uuid'], device)

#nova/compute/rpcapi.py:ComputeAPI.attach_volume():
def attach_volume(self, ctxt, instance, volume_id, mountpoint):
        instance_p = jsonutils.to_primitive(instance)
        self.cast(ctxt, self.make_msg('attach_volume',#cast调用
                instance=instance_p, volume_id=volume_id,
                mountpoint
