The test case dm/002 rarely fails with the message below:

This failure happens when udev opens the dm device at "dmsetup remove"
command. To avoid the failure, call "udevadm settle" before the "dmsetup
remove" command.

This patch addresses a failure found during the debug work for another
dm/002 failure [1]. Per discussion on v1 patch [2], do "udevadm settle"
instead of retrying "dmsetup remove".

I think udevadm settle is overkill as it waits for everything, not only that device.

Did you consider to use "dmsetup remove --retry <dev>"? This is one
liner and you do not need to implement the retry yourself.

We have many such situations in cryptsetup tests and --retry was enough
to fix it (as the busy comes usually from blkid scan that is fast enough).
It will print a few benign messages while retrying, though.

(Just a hint, I am not nacking the patch :)

Thanks Milan, I was not aware of the --retry option. I confirmed it avoids the
failure. I think it's the better than "udevadm settle". Will post v3.
