Subjectquestion on incoming packets and scheduler

I have a long-running cpu hog background task, and a high-priority
critical task that waits on a socket for network traffic. When a packet
comes in, I'd like the cpu hog to be swapped out ASAP, rather than
waiting for the end of the timeslice. Is there any way to make this happen?

The code paths that I managed to trace didn't seem to be calling the
scheduler to force the context switch. Hopefully I missed something.

Thanks,

Chris
