[openstack-dev] [nova] whitelist/blacklist for Nova V3 extensions

Hi,

I've proposed a patch which adds the ability to whitelist which extensions
are loaded for the V3 API (anything which is not in the whitelist is not
loaded) and to blacklist extensions (anything in the blacklist is not
loaded).

https://review.openstack.org/#/c/29487<https://review.openstack.org/#/c/29487/6>

There is also a check to see if something is in both the blacklist and the
whitelist as this may be an indication of a misconfiguration and currently
the code just does a LOG warn. The question is whether it should instead
raise an exception which will effectively abort the nova-api process.

Do people think there are any circumstances where someone would
intentionally want to both blacklist and whitelist an extension? Presumably
if it happened it would only be a temporary thing anyway as they could
otherwise just remove it from the whitelist.
