look at the code:

 196         do {
 197                 ret = vmbus_negotiate_version(msginfo, version);
 198                 if (ret)
 199                         goto cleanup;
 200 
 201                 if (vmbus_connection.conn_state == CONNECTED)
 202                         break;
 203 
 204                 version = vmbus_get_next_version(version);
 205         } while (version != VERSION_INVAL);
 206 
 207         if (version == VERSION_INVAL)
 208                 goto cleanup;

if function vmbus_negotiate_version() return error, the code
will goto cleanup. 

If 'version == VERSION_INVAL' is true, I think we tried all
of the VERSION_WS2008/VERSION_WIN7/VERSION_WIN8, but still
can not get the connection.
