| |
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
