*“A driver must not attempt to wait on a dispatcher object for the
completion of a transfer operation to or from a paging device” - Line from
DDK.*
Could some explain this statement? What would happen if i wait?

Blocking a paging path device can have dire consequences, including hideous
recursive issues for the waiter. However I think the ddk is being a bit over
strict or perhaps a bit less than fully accurate here.

Yes. This means - all paging IO must be async.
