Hi Kanagaraj,

AFAICT, there is no bug here.

         if not CONF.allow_resize_to_same_host:
             filter_properties['ignore_hosts'].append(instance['host'])
         else:
             filter_properties['force_nodes'] = [instance['node']]

When allow_resize_to_same_host is True, then 
filter_properties['force_node'] will be set to a list with only one node 
(the compute node that the instance is currently on), and therefore the 
resize will happen on the original host.

Best,
