Add Generic Volume Group Into Quota Management

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/cinder/+spec/add-volumegroup-into-quota-management

Generic Volume Group currently has its own quota mechanism. But we can’t get any information about the Generic Volume Group quota at the API layer.

Problem description

Cinder already achieved Generic Volume Group quota mechanism. It means that there is a Generic Volume Group quota class(the hard_limit is 10) at the DB layer. But the Generic Volume Group’s quota information wasn’t contained in any quota API’s response body, so that users can’t get or update it.

Use Cases

Cinder should allow users to get and update the Generic Volume Group’s quota. It’s terrible that users could only use the Generic Volume Group quota’s default value and can’t update it. With this change, users could 1) change the value of Generic Volume Group’s hard limit, 2) get the Generic Volume Group’s quota usage, through the Cinder’s quota API.

Proposed change

Let quota management undertake Generic Volume Group quota. And these five APIs will be changed: 1) quota-class-show

GET /os-quota-class-sets/default

Add a new line in the response body.

{
    "quota_class_set": {
        "groups": 10
    }
}

2) quota-show, quota-usage

GET /os-quota-sets/{project_id}?usage={False, True}

Add a new line in the response body.

{
    "quota_set": {
        "groups": {
            "reserved": 0,
            "allocated": 0,
            "limit": 10,
            "in_use": 0
        }
    }
}

3) quota-defaults

GET /os-quota-sets/{project_id}/defaults

Add a new line in the response body.

{
    "quota_set": {
        "groups": 10
    }
}

4) quota-class-update

PUT /os-quota-class-sets/default

Allow update “groups” and Add a new line in the response body.

{
    "quota_class_set": {
        "groups": 10
    }
}

5) quota-update

PUT /os-quota-sets/{project_id}

Allow update “groups” and Add a new line in the response body.

{
    "quota_set": {
        "groups": 10
    }
}
