In the instance_create DB API method, it ensures the (legacy) default security group gets created for the specified project_id if it does not already exist. If the security group does not exist, it is created in a separate transaction. Later in the instance_create method, it reads the default security group back that it wrote earlier (via the same ensure default security group code). But since it was written in a separate transaction, the current transaction will not be able to see it and will get back 0 rows. So, it creates a duplicate default security group record if project_id=NULL (which it will be, if running nova-manage db online_data_migrations, which uses an anonymous RequestContext with project_id=NULL). This succeeds despite the unique constraint on project_id because in MySQL, unique constraints are only enforced on non-NULL values [1]. To avoid creation of a duplicate default security group for project_id=NULL, we can use the default security group object that was returned from the first security_group_ensure_default call earlier in instance_create method and remove the second, redundant call. This also breaks out the security groups setup code from a nested method as it was causing confusion during code review and is not being used for any particular purpose. Inspection of the original commit where it was added in 2012 [2] did not contain any comments about the nested method and it appeared to either be a way to organize the code or a way to reuse the 'models' module name as a local variable name.
