/dev/mapper/ devices should NEVER be block devices. They should ONLY be
created by udev and should ALWAYS be symbolic links to /dev/dm-* block
devices. This is true for all type of device-mapper devices, be it
cryptsetup, lvm or dmraid:

$ ls -lhF /dev/mapper/ /dev/dm-*
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 0 12. Apr 10:40 /dev/dm-0
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 1 12. Apr 10:40 /dev/dm-1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 2 12. Apr 10:40 /dev/dm-2
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 3 12. Apr 10:40 /dev/dm-3
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 4 12. Apr 10:40 /dev/dm-4

/dev/mapper/:
