Are we sure this is taskflow? I'm wondering since those errors are more from task code (which is in cinder) and the following seems to be a general garbage collection issue (not connected to taskflow?):

'Exception during message handling: Can't emit change event for attribute 'Volume.provider_location' - parent object of type <Volume> has been garbage collected.'''

Or:

'''2015-05-07 22:42:51.142 17040 TRACE oslo_messaging.rpc.dispatcher ObjectDereferencedError: Can't emit change event for attribute 'Volume.provider_location' - parent object of type <Volume> has been garbage collected.'''

So it seems that this will break a number of drivers, I see that
glusterfs does the same thing.

    It appears that the release of taskflow 0.10.0 exposed an issue in
    the NetApp NFS drivers. Something changed that caused the sqlalchemy
    Volume object to be garbage collected even though it is passed into
    create_volume()

    An example error can be found in the c-vol logs here:

    
http://dcf901611175aa43f968-c54047c910227e27e1d6f03bb1796fd7.r95.cf5.rackcdn.com/57/181157/1/check/cinder-cDOT-NFS/0473c54/

    One way to get around whatever the issue is would be to change the
    drivers to not update the object directly as it is not needed. But
    this should not fail. Perhaps a more proper fix is for the volume
    manager to not pass around sqlalchemy objects.

    Something changed in taskflow, however, and we should just
    understand if that has other impact.

I'd like to understand that also: the only one commit that touched this stuff is https://github.com/openstack/taskflow/commit/227cf52 (which basically ensured that a storage object copy is modified, then saved, then the local object is updated vs updating the local object, and then saving, which has problems/inconsistencies if the save fails).
