  Hi neutron team,
We've been troubleshooting an issue with neutron's dhcp-client for sometime now.

We were previously on neutron 12.0.5 and observed that upon reloading 5-8 baremetals simultaneously almost always led to a few baremetals failing PXE boot during provisioning and/or cleaning.
This was traced to afixed bug.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1760047
which was applied to Queens in April 2019.
https://review.opendev.org/#/c/649580/


We patched the above fix but found out the problem was not resolved.
The fix gets rid of the semaphores by serializing the multiple messages into aPriority Queue.
The Priority Queue then drains the messages serially one by one making sure notto yield during the processing
of each message.  All in all this just seems like a more elegant way ofgetting rid of the semaphores but does not really 
fix the issue at hand.


Below are the logs from dhcp-agent in neutron release 12.0.5.  As can be seen the semaphore locks all threads for almost 6 seconds.While the below has been fixed using https://review.opendev.org/#/c/649580/
the underlying problem has not been fixed.  The semaphore has been removed but instead the message is being serialized and does not yieldresulting in PXE boot failures on the baremetal nodes.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
thanks,Fred
