From: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@xxxxxxxxxx> If we are merging invalidated snapshot, redirect all accesses to the origin device. Userspace code will remove the invalidated snapshot anyway after a few seconds, but during this period, the origin device must be active (it may for example contain root filesystem and having unbootable computer is not desirable).
