Sorry, I was thought that the code was straightforward to understand. I can 
explain what I wanna do.
I try to use postcommit to dynamically set some specific port attribute into 
port binding when a certain port is created.
So, I write an example to see whether it is working or not. But, 

def create_port_postcommit(self, context):
    port_id = context._port['id']
    session = db_api.get_session()

    # insert some attr in profile
    profile = {'type': 1, 'priority': 2}

    try:
        binding = (session.query(models.PortBinding).
                  filter(models.PortBinding.port_id.startswith(port_id)).
                  one())
        binding.profile = str(profile)
        session.merge(binding)
    except exc.NoResultFound:
        binding = models.PortBinding(
                  port_id=port_id,
                  vif_type=portbindings.VIF_TYPE_UNBOUND,
                  profile=str(profile))
        session.add(binding)
    except Exception as e:
        LOG.error(_("Error with port %(port_id)s"), {'port_id': port_id})  <-- 
line 95

Message is as follows:

What is in the variable named 'query' that you are trying to merge into the 
session? Can you include the full create_port_postcommit method? The line 
raising the exception ends with " {'port_id': port_id})" and that doesn't 
matching anything included in your sample.

It seems that the transaction in the postcommit cannot be committed.

Hi Kevin, 

Thanks for your reply. Actually, it is not that straightforward. 
Even if postcommit is outside the 'with' statement, the transaction is not 
'truly' committed immediately. Because when I put my db code (reading and 
writing ml2-related tables) in postcommit, db lock wait exception is still 
thrown.

The post_commit methods occur outside of the transactions. You should be able 
to perform the necessary database calls there. 


If you look at the code snippet in the email you provided, you can see that the 
'try' block surrounding the postcommit method is at the same indentation-level 
as the 'with' statement for the transaction so it will be closed at that point. 


Cheers, 
Kevin Benton

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
