Description:
I am guessing this wait type is when a worker (think ‘thread’) is being moved to a scheduler, and the wait type was added to allow tracking worker migrations between schedulers in a NUMA node, which can now occur in 2019 when a thread is at the head of the runnable queue in a scheduler.
