Allow table type DM_TYPE_BIO_BASED to extend with
DM_TYPE_DAX_BIO_BASED since DM_TYPE_DAX_BIO_BASED
supports bio-based requests.

You said in the 0th header: "Patch 1 solves an error when lvremove is
made to a snapshot device."

I'm not seeing why this patch 1 fixes anything specific to snapshot
device removal (but I can see why patch 2 makes snapshot creation
"work").  I'll apply your 2nd patch and see if I can see what you mean.

I actually see this error, without either of your 2 proposed patches
applied, when I try to create a snapshot of a DAX capable LV:

# lvcreate -s -n snap -L 100M pmem/lv
  device-mapper: reload ioctl on (253:7) failed: Invalid argument
  Failed to lock logical volume pmem/lv.
  Aborting. Manual intervention required.

Yes, patch 2 fixes this error.

I have not looked into why lvremove does this, but lvremove to a snapshot
device fails to reload DM table of "<dev>-lvsnap" device (which is marked as
DM_TYPE_BIO_BASED) with DM_TYPE_DAX_BIO_BASED.  Patch 1 fixes this error.  I
think it also generally makes sense to allow this case.

Thanks,

It looks like a strange intermediate state that lvm2 uses during
snapshot removal.

Full listing of snapshot related DM tables (before lvremove):

pmem-lv-real: 0 6086656 linear 259:0 2048
pmem-lv: 0 6086656 snapshot-origin 253:5
pmem-snap-cow: 0 204800 linear 259:0 6088704
pmem-snap: 0 6086656 snapshot 253:5 253:6 P 8

When removing this snapshot we're wanting to be left with:

pmem-lv: 0 6086656 linear 259:0 2048

I augmented the DM core error to be more expressive, resulting in:
  device-mapper: ioctl: 253:7: can't change device type (from 1 to 4) after initial table load.

1 is DM_TYPE_BIO_BASED and 4 is DM_TYPE_DAX_BIO_BASED -- which makes
sense given the linear target is DM_TYPE_DAX_BIO_BASED.

The previous DM table for 253:7 was:
  pmem-snap: 0 6086656 snapshot 253:5 253:6 P 8

The intermediate table that lvm2 is trying to load for 253:7 is:
  0 204800 linear 259:0 6088704

(this linear target was previously pmem-snap-cow)

You're probably right but I need to think about it a little bit more.

Yes, that is consistent with what I saw.

Sounds good.
