Not really accessible.

But anyway - if you have problem with  'semaphore' resouces - you could 
'recycle' old ones -

'dmsetup  udevcomplete_all'

Of course it's hard to guess what experiments are you doing and would could 
lead to uncompleted cockies (stuck udev scans)

Do you happen to have some suspend devices in your table ?
(dmsetup info -c    should show them)

dmsetup ls --tree

is usually good in shows deps between devs (i.e.  target A holds target B)
