I'll check that and get back to you. But please keep in mind that the first time I tried this and saw immediate results was with the device in hostap mode - where ethernet and wlan0 are bridged via if_bridge. There's no TCP or UDP state being handled at all. >> Which should wake up a/the taskqueue thread in question and have it >> immediately run the next task on the queue.

I admit I don't quite understand yet the scheduler and event/timer handling code. What about if nothing is currently scheduled and the CPU is idle? When will the idle process get tickled? I assume it would preempt the idle process immediately and run the taskqueue kernel thread, right? Would there ever be a situation where it doesn't do this?
