Therefore this may not result in as much concurrency as it seems. Also, 100Gb/s ethernet is not so easy to saturate, trying 10Gb/s or 1Gb/s might put more pressure on qdisc code concurrency.

I will, I was not aware of v4 submission. I'll write a short note to it so that it does not accidentally get applied before we know for sure what the CPU usage impact is. Michal
