The problem you're running into is when you run:

make test TESTS=samba4.raw.open

you're running against the (unmaintained) ntvfs file
server (which we *really* should remove from the
codebase) - which will certainly fail.

If you look at my patch carefully it has 2 hunks
in the test part. I added:

diff --git a/selftest/knownfail b/selftest/knownfail
index d4a6923..ab77e0f 100644
--- a/selftest/knownfail
+++ b/selftest/knownfail

 ^samba4.raw.oplock.*.batch22 # bug 6963

to the knownfail file, which flags this test as expected
to fail against the ntvfs server. The test passes as expected
against smbd.

If you apply my complete patchset and just type:

make test TESTS=raw.open

you'll find it passes.

Sorry for the confusion. For 4.3.x we should really
do the work and remove the alternate file server as
it's fallen too far behind smbd to be useful.

The added test passes when run manually against
Windows 2012r2 as well, which is how I know it's
good :-).

Cheers,

	Jeremy.
