This is with regard to Nested Quota Implementation in nova.<br>
The blueprint has been approved for liberty,which was earlier approved for kilo.<br>
<a href="https://review.openstack.org/#/c/160605" target="_blank"> https://review.openstack.org/#/c/160605</a><br>
<br>
The complete code has been uploaded.<br>
<br>
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/149828/<br>
<br>
There are two issues.<br>
1. In nested quota, we are making the default quota values as zero. This is because, in nested projects, the quota of a child project is limited by its parent's free quota. So there is no point in having finite default quota values for a project.
If I make default quota values as zero,whether it will be having any effect on modules in nova other than quota ? Is there any dependency,at least in the functional tests ? Actually many tests other than quota are failing and I am trying to figure it out.<br>
2. In nova , we are having context checking in files such as wsgi.py ,sqlalchemy/db/api.py ,quotas.py ,quota_sets.py etc,out of which wsgi.py and api.py are common to many modules other than quota.In nested quota, we are making a condition that
, to update the quota of a project,the token should be scoped to the parent of the project ,rather than to the project itself. This is because ,an increase in the quota limit of a child project,results in the reduction of free quota of the parent.So, it makes
sense to scope the token to the parent. But this may or may not be followed by modules other than quota. In that case , I think that the context checking should be eliminated from files which are common. It will not create any security problem, since context
checking is already done by the individual modules themselves.In fact ,I feel context checking in common files are redundant.<br>
Kindly give me your opinion on these issues.Actually there is a session for quota in the summit.<br>
best regards<br>
