  To: dm-devel; +Cc: Mikulas Patocka, agk

Permit in-use snapshot exception data to be 'handed over' from one
snapshot instance to another.  This is a pre-requisite for patches
that allow the changes made in a snapshot device to be merged back into
its origin device and also allows device resizing.

The basic call sequence is:

  dmsetup load new_snapshot (referencing the existing in-use cow device)
     - the ctr code detects that the cow is already in use and links the
       two snapshot target instances together
  dmsetup suspend original_snapshot
  dmsetup resume new_snapshot
     - the new_snapshot becomes live, and if anything now tries to access
       the original one it will receive EIO
  dmsetup remove original_snapshot

(There can only be two snapshot targets referencing the same cow device
simultaneously.)
