Ok, but little fix in "rename 'struct mapped_device' to 'interpose'".
Maybe "rename 'bool is_interposed' to 'bool interpose:1'"?
I think I understand your idea, I'll try to implement it.

Yeah, I guess so.
Since dm_table is unique for each dm_target and in our case will generally
contain only one device.

I thought that was enough.
The function dm_disk_freeze() guarantees that no bio will be processed,
which means that we can safely attach or detach the interposer.
All bios will continue their processing after dm_disk_unfreeze().
Sorry, but I don't understand why it is required for DM devices to do
internal suspend/resume.
If this is not too difficult, can you explain what problem can cause
a simple queue freeze?

I realized my mistake. I wanted to remove the unnecessary goto,
but I change the logic.

Hmm... Maybe strict equality would be better.
