  3. After creating some bcache devices and rebooting /dev/bcache/by-uuid/<UUID> -> ../../bcacheN
  symlinks point to the current bcache device which is caching the dev.uuid found after creating a backing device.

  4. /dev/bcache/by-uuid does not exist and there are not symlinks
  underneath

  
  It appears that since the initramfs loads the bcache module which probes and finds all of the cache devices and backing devices then once the rootfs is mounted and udev gets to run, the bcache kernel module does not emit the CACHED_UUID value into the environment if the underlying devices are already registered.

  In dmesg, one can see that prior to mounting the rootfs, we see bcache
  register events:

  [    5.333973] bcache: register_bdev() registered backing device vdb2
  [    5.354138] bcache: register_bdev() registered backing device vdb4
  [    5.365665] bcache: register_bdev() registered backing device vdb3
  [    5.397720] bcache: bch_journal_replay() journal replay done, 0 keys in 1 entries, seq 1
  [    5.428683] bcache: register_cache() registered cache device vdb1

  then rootfs ismounted and systemd starts systemd-udev

  [    9.350889] systemd[1]: Listening on udev Kernel Socket.

  And then the coldplug replay of kernel events triggers /lib/udev/rules.d/69-bcache.rules
  which invokes /lib/udev/bcache-register which writes the device name (/dev/vdb1 or /dev/bcache0) into /sys/fs/bcache/register and results is the bcache kernel driver attempting to register the block device.  However, there is already a bcache device associated already and registration fails

  [   11.173141] bcache: register_bcache() error opening /dev/vdb2: device already registered
  [   11.184617] bcache: register_bcache() error opening /dev/vdb3: device already registered
  [   11.199130] bcache: register_bcache() error opening /dev/vdb1: device already registered
  [   11.271694] bcache: register_bcache() error opening /dev/vdb4: device already registered

  The problem then is that only a kernel call to bch_cached_dev_run()
  which happens like this:

  bcache_register()
    register_bdev()
      bch_cached_dev_run()
        kobject_uevent_env(&disk_to_dev(d->disk)->kobj, KOBJ_CHANGE, env);
        
  where env includes: 
      "DRIVER=bcache",
          kasprintf(GFP_KERNEL, "CACHED_UUID=%pU", dc->sb.uuid),
          NULL,
          NULL,
      };

  Since that event is not emitted for any previously registered device,
  then the symlink will not be created.
