Remarks

The framework starts an internal watchdog timer every time it calls a power policy or power event callback function for a driver that is not power pageable (that is, the DO_POWER_PAGABLE bit is clear). If the callback function causes paging I/O and therefore blocks, the operating system hangs because no paging device is available to service the request.

If the time-out period elapses, the framework issues bug check 0x10D (WDF_VIOLATION). For details, see Bug Check 0x10D.
