** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ 
  When a volume is attached to a VM in the source compute node through
  multipath, the related files in /dev/disk/by-path/ are like this
  
  stack@ubuntu-server12:~/devstack$ ls /dev/disk/by-path/*24
  
/dev/disk/by-path/ip-192.168.3.50:3260-iscsi-iqn.1992-04.com.emc:cx.fnm00124500890.a5-lun-24
  
/dev/disk/by-path/ip-192.168.4.51:3260-iscsi-iqn.1992-04.com.emc:cx.fnm00124500890.b4-lun-24
  
  The information on its corresponding multipath device is like this
  stack@ubuntu-server12:~/devstack$ sudo multipath -l 
3600601602ba03400921130967724e411
  3600601602ba03400921130967724e411 dm-3 DGC,VRAID
  size=1.0G features='1 queue_if_no_path' hwhandler='1 alua' wp=rw
  |-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=-1 status=active
  | `- 19:0:0:24 sdl 8:176 active undef running
  `-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=-1 status=enabled
    `- 18:0:0:24 sdj 8:144 active undef running
  
  But when the VM is migrated to the destination, the related information
  is like the following example since we CANNOT guarantee that all nodes
  are able to access the same iSCSI portals and the same target LUN
  number. And the information is used to overwrite connection_info in the
  DB before the post live migration logic is executed.
  
  stack@ubuntu-server13:~/devstack$ ls /dev/disk/by-path/*24
  
/dev/disk/by-path/ip-192.168.3.51:3260-iscsi-iqn.1992-04.com.emc:cx.fnm00124500890.b5-lun-100
  
/dev/disk/by-path/ip-192.168.4.51:3260-iscsi-iqn.1992-04.com.emc:cx.fnm00124500890.b4-lun-100
  
  stack@ubuntu-server13:~/devstack$ sudo multipath -l 
3600601602ba03400921130967724e411
  3600601602ba03400921130967724e411 dm-3 DGC,VRAID
  size=1.0G features='1 queue_if_no_path' hwhandler='1 alua' wp=rw
  |-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=-1 status=active
  | `- 19:0:0:100 sdf 8:176 active undef running
  `-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=-1 status=enabled
    `- 18:0:0:100 sdg 8:144 active undef running
  
  As a result, if post live migration in source side uses <IP>, <IQN> and 
<TARGET LUN Number> to find the devices to clean up, it may use 192.168.3.51, 
iqn.1992-04.com.emc:cx.fnm00124500890.a5 and 100.
  However, the correct one should be 192.168.3.50, 
iqn.1992-04.com.emc:cx.fnm00124500890.a5 and 24.
  
  Similar philosophy in (https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1327497) can
  be used to fix it: Leverage the unchanged multipath_id to find correct
  devices to delete.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+ Live migrate an instance which uses iSCSI multipath. Verify the correct
+ target is removed on source hypervisor.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+ Not much, its included in the next release (Juno). The change introduces
+ a check to use a field already used by fiber multipath connections which
+ was not used by iscsi multipath code path on cleanup. If it fails it
+ would keep remaining behavior of not cleaning up iscsi sessions/paths.
