Is it possible that your code is having a problem seeing a [MS-RSVD] 2.2.4.12 SVHDX_OPEN_DEVICE_CONTEXT Structure with a version of two?  There are now two RSVD Open Device context structures:

[MS-RSVD] 2.2.4.12 SVHDX_OPEN_DEVICE_CONTEXT, where Version must be RSVD_ECP_CONTEXT_VERSION_1 (0x00000001)
	And
[MS-RSVD] 2.2.4.32 SVHDX_OPEN_DEVICE_CONTEXT_V2 Structure, where Version must be RSVD_ECP_CONTEXT_VERSION_2 (0x00000002)

In your trace, what was sent was a [MS-RSVD] 2.2.4.32 SVHDX_OPEN_DEVICE_CONTEXT_V2 Structure (first DWORD = 0x00000002).

See http://download.microsoft.com/download/C/6/C/C6C3C6F1-E84A-44EF-82A9-49BD3AAD8F58/Windows/[MS-RSVD-Diff].pdf.

As the root cause was resolved on this end, I closed the case, but if additional follow-up is required on our end I will be happy to open a new issue.

Bryan

It's probably based on the idea that SVHDX is implemented by the backing store, the (apparently-incorrect-on-this-point) spec says that if the data store doesn't support SVHDX, this error is to be returned, which lead us to get this create context to the VFS and generate the error from there.

But probably this error should not be generated.
