The general rule is that the version of libdevmapper should be at least as new as the latest one available at the time when the upstream kernel you're using was released. And lvm2 should normally be at least as new as libdevmapper. In brief, new libdevmappers will normally work with older kernels, but new kernels won't necessarily work with older libdevmappers, though incompatibilities are rare. When possible, we add support for kernel changes to the userspace tools some time before the features themselves hit the upstream kernel to allow time for the new tools to propagate. (A current example is dm mirror block_on_error support.)
