We see that DriverA and DriverB are possibly pass-through and have little influence. For DriverC and DriverD we don’t even have symbol files but they are even further down the stack. Default analysis points to the code that tries to call another driver:
1: kd> !analyze -v
[...]
RDR_FILE_SYSTEM (27)
If you see RxExceptionFilter on the stack then the 2nd and 3rd parameters are the exception record and context record. Do a .cxr on the 3rd parameter and then kb to obtain a more informative stack trace. The high 16 bits of the first parameter is the RDBSS bugcheck code, which is defined as follows:
RDBSS_BUG_CHECK_CACHESUP = 0xca550000,
RDBSS_BUG_CHECK_CLEANUP = 0xc1ee0000,
RDBSS_BUG_CHECK_CLOSE = 0xc10e0000,
RDBSS_BUG_CHECK_NTEXCEPT = 0xbaad0000,

We assume that IofCallDriver has the same parameters as IoCallDriver but they were not passed on the stack. They are passed via ECX and EDX registers:

We see the standard prolog and therefore EBP points to the old EBP from RxShadowIoHandler:
1: kd> dp ebp l1
afa8b8ac afa8b8f8
We have the value of the pointer to a device object, which is invalid:
1: kd> dp afa8b8f8-28 l1
afa8b8d0 86a62ed8
1: kd> !devobj 86a62ed8
86a62ed8: is not a device object
and the value of the pointer to an IRP which is valid:
1: kd> dp afa8b8f8-24 l1
afa8b8d4 861e0468
1: kd> !irp 861e0468
Irp is active with 4 stacks 4 is current (= 0x861e0544)

From the full disassembly code of IofCallDriver we see that ECX and EDX values had not been changed so we could get our parameters from them too.
Device object is invalid in IRP too and it points to a NULL driver object:
