Hi all,

I'm developing a new mechanism driver. I'd like to access ml2-related tables in 
create_port_precommit and create_port_postcommit. However I find it hard to do 
that because the two functions are both inside an existed database transaction 
defined in create_port function of ml2/plugin.py.

The related code is as follows:

def create_port(self, context, port):
    ...
    session = context.session
    with session.begin(subtransactions=True):
        ...
        self.mechanism_manager.create_port_precommit(mech_context)
    try:
        self.mechanism_manager.create_port_postcommit(mech_context)
        ...
    ...
    return result

As a result, I need to carefully deal with the database nested transaction 
issue to prevent from db lock when I develop my own mechanism driver. Right 
now, I'm trying to get the idea behind the scene. Is it possible to refactor it 
in order to make precommit and postcommit out of the db transaction? I think it 
is perfect for those who develop mechanism driver and do not know well about 
the functioning context of the whole ML2 plugin.

Thanks,
Li Ma
