Bug Description

https://github.com/openstack/swift/commit/c6cebb6e621a245c9c2d5bff0df59689b0140373 introduced the use of NamedTemporaryFile when writing rings; this creates files with 0600 permissions by default, so when the file is renamed to the actual ring filename, it has different permissions to those created by earlier versions of swift.

We use the root account to create rings, but swift-proxy runs as the swift user and as a result can't read the rings.

Reading the comments in the commit details, I don't think limiting permissions was in the scope of intent of that change.

    Set permissions on generated ring files

    The use of NamedTemporaryFile creates rings with permissions 0600;
    however most installs probably generate the rings as root but the
    swift-proxy runs as user swift.

    Set the permissions on the generated ring to 0644 prior to rename so
    that the swift user can read the rings.

    Fix logging issue when services stop on py26

    On older versions of python 2.6, exceptions would be spewed to the error
    log whenever a service would stop. This gets magnified by the
    container-updater which seems to do it with every pass. This catches
    and squelches the error.

    Use eventlet instead of threading for timeout

    The only explicit use of Python threading is found in the
    testFileSizeLimit test. Using eventlet seems a bit easier to follow,
    accomplishing the same goal, and does not constrain us to a
    multi-threaded environment.

    The chunks() and timeout() module level functions are only used by one
    test each, so we just move them to those tests to indicate they are not
    used globally.
