Look for "dmsetup udevcomplete" call in udev rules. This is the sync point when 
libdevmapper continues. This must be the last call in udev chain rules related 
to device-mapper devices.
(Run cryptsetup with --debug and you will see that sync point.)

Sometimes it is hidden by the fact that libdevampper could fallback to
device internal nodes creation because it verifies that udev nodes were
created (the old way used when you compile it without udev support).

Just saying how upstream is designed to work.

Title:
  vaultlocker does not ensure that udev is triggered to create /dev/disk
  /by-uuid/<uuid-in-luks-header> symlink and fails

Status in vaultlocker:
  Fix Released
Status in cryptsetup package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When an encrypted device is setup up a UUID (osd_fsid) is passed from
  the charm to be used in the cryptsetup command which accepts a UUID to
  place into the LUKS header (shown in cryptsetup luksDump <path-to-
  block-device>).

  
https://github.com/openstack/charm-ceph-osd/blob/stable/18.05/lib/ceph/utils.py#L1788-L1804
 
  UUID comes from osd_fsid

  
https://github.com/openstack-charmers/vaultlocker/blob/8c9cb85dc3ed5dbf18c66a810d189a5230d85c34/vaultlocker/shell.py#L69-L80
  # else statement is used here
       block_uuid = str(uuid.uuid4()) if not args.uuid else args.uuid

       dmcrypt.luks_format(key, block_device, block_uuid) # creates a LUKS 
header
  # ...
       dmcrypt.luks_open(key, block_uuid) # sets up a device with device mapper 
decrypting it via dmcrypt

  https://github.com/openstack-
  
charmers/vaultlocker/blob/d813233179bdf2eec8ed101c702a8e552a966f44/vaultlocker/dmcrypt.py#L44-L56

  This UUID is visible in blkid output

  /dev/sdc: UUID="<luks-header-uuid>" TYPE="crypto_LUKS"

  and a udev rule exists to create a /dev/disk/by-uuid/<luks-header-
  uuid> symlink (which is normally used for filesystem -> block device
  resolution)

  
https://git.launchpad.net/~usd-import-team/ubuntu/+source/lvm2/tree/udev/13-dm-disk.rules.in#n25
  ENV{ID_FS_USAGE}=="filesystem|other|crypto", ENV{ID_FS_UUID_ENC}=="?*", 
SYMLINK+="disk/by-uuid/$env{ID_FS_UUID_ENC}"

  
  Where vaultlocker fails is in luks_open command (right after luks_format) 

   # cryptsetup --batch-mode --key-file - open UUID=<luks-header-uuid>
  crypt-<luks-header-uuid> --type luks

  because it tries to access /dev/disk/by-uuid/<luks-header-uuid> which
  does not exist.

  This happens since udev rules are not re-triggered to create this
  symlink after a LUKS device is created.

  Solution: call the command below after luks_format before luks_open

  udevadm settle --exit-if-exists=/dev/disk/by-uuid/<luks-header-uuid-
  equal-to-osd-fsid>
