Are you aware that dm_table_determine_type() sets "all_blk_mq" to
false if there are no paths, even if the dm device is in blk-mq
mode?

That shouldn't matter.  Once the type is established, it is used to
initialize the DM device's request_queue, the type cannot change across
different table loads.

For a single queue dm device, what prevents a user from removing all single queue paths and to add one or more blk-mq paths? I think this will cause dm_table_determine_type() to change the table type.
