Populate the used, unused and unallocated figures in the Partition
object for a LUKS formatted partition. See comment in
luks::set_used_sectors() for the rational of what is used, unused and
unallocated.
As that rational mentions, a LUKS header does not store the size of the
encrypted data and is assumed to extend to the end of the partition by
the tools which start the mapping.
An underlying block device of 128 MiB (131072 KiB).
# sfdisk -s /dev/sde

An active LUKS mapping at offset 2 MiB (4096 512-byte sectors) and
length 126 MiB (129024 KiB, 258048 512-byte sectors).

# cryptsetup luksClose sde_crypt

The size of the LUKS mapping is back to 126 MiB (129024 KiB, 258048

Bug 760080 - Implement read-only LUKS support
Provide a minimal implementation of a luks file system class which only
does busy detection.
NOTE:
For now, read-only LUKS support, a LUKS partition will be busy when a
dm-crypt mapping exists. Later when read-write LUKS support is added
GParted will need to look at the busy status of the encrypted file
system within the open LUKS partition and map LUKS partition busy status
to encryption being open or closed.
