Not sure if I'm answering the right question, but with
LVM2/device-mapper:

You have to suspend & resume it in the kernel [with existing device-mapper
implementation; this may change].

With LVM2, between those commands, you can just zero out the
start of the cow device (say first 64k).  And then it'll treat
it as if it were a new snapshot (based on current state of filesystem.)
