Marking this is confirmed against the Ubuntu Cloud Archive for Kilo,
Juno, and Trusty which are still supported from the Ubuntu perspective
and is known not to include the os-brick library dependencies.
Certainly, the testing for the change to os-brick needs to be verified
that the problem is fixed there, so leaving that as incomplete.

Bug description:
  iSCSI volume detach does not correctly remove the multipath device
  descriptors

  tested environment:
  nova-compute on Ubuntu 14.04.1, iscsi_use_multipath=True and iSCSI volume backend is EMC VNX 5300.

   I created 3 cinder volumes and attached them to a nova instance. Then I detach them one by one. First 2 volumes volumes detached successfully.  3rd volume also successfully detached but ended up with  failed multipaths. 
  Here is the terminal log for last volume detach.

  iscsiadm: No active sessions.

  Then I manually removed the multipaths,
  openstack at W1CN103:/etc/iscsi$ sudo multipath -f 360060160cf0036002d1475f6e73fe411
  openstack at W1CN103:/etc/iscsi$ sudo multipath -l
  openstack at W1CN103:/etc/iscsi$

   I think the problem is in,
  virt/libvirt/volume.py:LibvirtISCSIVolumeDriver
   def _disconnect_volume_multipath_iscsi(self, iscsi_properties, multipath_device):

  End of this method executes following code to call remove_multipath_device_descriptor for remove the multipaths by multipath -f before return.
          self._remove_multipath_device_descriptor(multipath_device)
          return
  Therefore, first two volumes worked fine. However, when it comes to the last device (in this case 3rd one),  this method return without calling _remove_multipath_device_descriptor due to following if statement. 
   
          if not in_use:
              # disconnect if no other multipath devices with same iqn
              self._disconnect_mpath(iscsi_properties, ips_iqns)
              return
  It just disconnect them but not remove them.
  One of the reasons why we have to remove them is,
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1223975

  IMO, we should call _remove_multipath_device_descriptor in above if
  statement before return.
