[ops] [nova] Wrong reported memory hypervisor usage

In the dashboard of my OpenStack Ocata cloud I see that the reported memory
usage is wrong for the hypervisors.
As far as I understand that information should correspond to the "used_now"
field of the  "nova host-describe" command. And indeed considering an
hypervisor:


# nova host-describe cld-blu-01.cloud.pd.infn.it
+-----------------------------+----------------------------------+-----+-----------+---------+
| HOST                        | PROJECT                          | cpu |
memory_mb | disk_gb |
+-----------------------------+----------------------------------+-----+-----------+---------+
| cld-blu-01.cloud.pd.infn.it | (total)                          | 8   |
32722     | 241     |
| cld-blu-01.cloud.pd.infn.it | (used_now)                       | 19  |
16259     | 23      |
| cld-blu-01.cloud.pd.infn.it | (used_max)                       | 19  |
38912     | 95      |
| cld-blu-01.cloud.pd.infn.it | b08eede75d5e4be4b0fe21e68fa9c688 | 1   |
2048      | 20      |
| cld-blu-01.cloud.pd.infn.it | 7890b3e262264529a19f9743cf2f14bc | 16  |
32768     | 50      |
| cld-blu-01.cloud.pd.infn.it | 4d8187cffa6a4085ad4a357b8a5afc03 | 2   |
4096      | 25      |
+-----------------------------+----------------------------------+-----+-----------+---------+


So for the memory it reports 16259 for used_now, while as far as far I
understand it should be 38912 + the memory used by the hypervisor

Am I missing something ?

Thanks, Massimo
