The patch in question (https://review.openstack.org/#/c/28232/24) adds the ability to track quota usage on a per user basis within a project. I have run into two issues with it so far: the db migration is incomplete and leaves the data in a bad state, and the sync methods used during quota reservations no longer work for fixed_ips, floating_ips, and networks since they are not tied to a user.

The db migration issue is documented at https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1212798 but the tl;dr is that the quota usages that were in place before the migration is run can not be decremented and aren't fixed by the healing sync that occurs. I sought to address this by introducing a new migration which performs a full sync of quota usages and removes the bad rows but that led me to the next issue.

Some resources can't be synced properly because they're tracked per user in the quota table but they're not tied to a user so it's not feasible to grab a count of how many are being used by any particular user. So right now the quota_usages table can get into a bad state with no good way to address it.

Right now I think it will be better to revert this change and re-introduce it once these issues are worked out. Thoughts?

As an addendum, the patch merged about a month ago on Jul 25th and looks to have some minor conflicts for a revert but should be minimally disruptive.
