Sean Mooney 9f9f372f33 PCI: do not force remove allocated devices
In the ocata release the pci_passthrough_whitelist
was moved from the [DEFAULT] section of the nova.conf
to the [pci] section and renamed to passthrough_whitelist.

On upgrading if the operator chooses to migrate the config
value to the new section it is not uncommon
to forget to rename the config value.
Similarly if an operator is updateing the whitelist and
mistypes the value it can also lead to the whitelist
being ignored.

As a result of either error the nova compute agent
would delete all database entries for a host regardless of
if the pci device was in use by an instance. If this occurs
the only recorse for an operator is to delete and recreate
the guest on that host after correcting the error or manually
restore the database to backup or otherwise consistent state.

This change alters the _set_hvdevs function to not force
remove allocated or claimed devices if they are no longer
present in the pci whitelist.

Closes-Bug: #1633120
Change-Id: I6e871311a0fa10beaf601ca6912b4a33ba4094e0

OpenStack Nova

OpenStack Nova provides a cloud computing fabric controller, supporting a wide variety of compute technologies, including: libvirt (KVM, Xen, LXC and more), Hyper-V, VMware, XenServer, OpenStack Ironic and PowerVM.

Use the following resources to learn more.

API

To learn how to use Nova's API, consult the documentation available online at:

For more information on OpenStack APIs, SDKs and CLIs in general, refer to:

Operators

To learn how to deploy and configure OpenStack Nova, consult the documentation available online at:

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:

Developers

For information on how to contribute to Nova, please see the contents of the CONTRIBUTING.rst.

Any new code must follow the development guidelines detailed in the HACKING.rst file, and pass all unit tests.
