> On "dmsetup reload" the new ploop reads metadata of the images in
> ploop_ctr(), but IO continues through the old ploop until the device
> is suspended. So the old ploop may change BAT and sizes of the delta
> files, and after resume the new ploop works with outdated metadata,
> e.g. allocates clusters already used by the old one or relies on a
> wrong file size. Also userspace may modify images of suspended device
> (e.g. merge zeroes BAT entries of the base delta, snapshot creation
> trims the tail of the top delta).
>
> Reload all the metadata in ploop_preresume(): re-read header of the top
> delta, BAT of every delta and sizes of delta files, and rebuild BAT
> tree and holes_bitmap from scratch. On error the old metadata is kept
> and resume fails.

> Skip the in-use signature check on reload, as the image is already
