More investigation revealed that the bug affects only those setups that do not use oslo.messaging (Icehouse and earlier), so the bug is invalid for upstream.

Engineering Team, which is subscribed to neutron. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1505244 Title: OVS agent can leave AMQP queues on startup failure Status in neutron: Invalid Bug description: If OVS agent initialization fails for any reason after report_state thread is spawned, we can leave empty AMQP queues on AMQP broker. Any failure between that thread startup and consume_in_threads() call may result in it. One of the reasons is report_state that triggers RPC, and since there is still no connection, it's established, and all consumers defined for that connection are declared on AMQP broker side: https://github.com/openstack/oslo.messaging/blob/master/oslo_messaging/_drivers/impl_rabbit.py#L646 Another reason is that declare_consumer in oslo.messaging creates Queue object thru kombu that immediately initializes it on AMQP side. The fix would be to start the reporting thread only when we are ready to consume, f.e. after consumer threads are spawned.
