Bug Description

ram_allocation_ratio only multiplies the free ram on the host instead of multiplying all the ram, so the allocation ratio is basically useless. We need something that multiplies all of the available ram. Offending lines in ram filter:

 39 free_ram_mb = host_state.free_ram_mb
 40 return free_ram_mb * FLAGS.ram_allocation_ratio >= requested_ram

we can either:

a) change the calcualtion of free_ram_mb in host state
or
b) store used_ram_mb and total_ram_mb and compute the free_ram in the filter

I think I prefer b)

Might be useful to store the whole compute node record in the HostState.. so filters could potentially use anything from it.

Please find the attached test log from the Ubuntu Server Team's CI infrastructure. As part of the verification process for this bug, Nova has been deployed and configured across multiple nodes using precise-proposed as an installation source. After successful bring-up and configuration of the cluster, a number of exercises and smoke tests have be invoked to ensure the updated package did not introduce any regressions. A number of test iterations were carried out to catch any possible transient errors.

Please Note the list of installed packages at the top and bottom of the report.

For records of upstream test coverage of this update, please see the Jenkins links in the comments of the relevant upstream code-review(s):

Trunk review: https://review.openstack.org/8830
Stable review: https://review.openstack.org/8954

As per the provisional Micro Release Exception granted to this package by the Technical Board, we hope this contributes toward verification of this update.
