[Dnsmasq-discuss] dhcp entries not being removed from dnsmasq

[Graeme Peterson]

I found the following entry in /var/log/auth.log which shows neutron as
root (sudo) calling dhcp_release on IP: 132.16.0.13, MAC: 
fa:16:3e:8e:83:97 two minutes after the DHCPACK and two minutes before
the dnsmasq-dhcp log failure saying: "not using configured address
132.16.0.13 because it is leased to fa:16:3e:8e:83:97". Looks to me like
Openstack is calling dhcp_release correctly. The dnsmask log is in a
folder named "34705fcf-4f9c-48eb-b0bc-ac5091e181c8", same as the arg to
ip netns exec without the "qdhcp-" prefix. So far it looks like a
dhcp_release/dnsmasq issue to my untrained eye. I have been able to work
around it somewhat by setting the max lease time to 30 seconds, although
that seems to be introducing other issues, more investigation required
there.

./auth.log:May 16 16:55:21 my-ucs-69 sudo:  neutron : TTY=unknown ;
PWD=/var/lib/neutron ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/neutron-rootwrap
/etc/neutron/rootwrap.conf ip netns exec
qdhcp-34705fcf-4f9c-48eb-b0bc-ac5091e181c8 dhcp_release tapc5399cce-70
132.16.0.13 fa:16:3e:8e:83:97 

Thanks again,
Graeme

The odd thing is that when a new VM wants an IP, tcpdump shows the request coming in for an address, but no reply, and OpenStack thinks it got an IP - the same one that used to belong to the recently terminated VM - but there is no dhcp offer in the tcpdump, and the dnsmasq log shows:
