Just wanted to put this out there to hopefully spread awareness and prevent it from happening more.
We had a bug reported in Cinder of hitting a deadlock when attempting to deelte multiple volumes simultaneously: https://bugs.launchpad.net/cinder/+bug/1685818 Some were seeing it, but others were not able to reproduce the error in their environments. What it came down to is the use of "mysql://" vs "mysql+pymysql://" for the database connection string. Big thanks to Gerhard Muntingh for noticing this difference. Basically, when using "mysql://" for the connection string, that uses blocking calls that prevent other "threads" from running at the same time, causing these deadlocks. This doesn't just impact Cinder, so I wanted to get the word out that it may be worth checking your configurations and make sure you are using "mysql+pymysql://" for your connections.
