> What about just having a smarter ingress qdisc?

Ingress qdiscs go through a single lock, and that is not likely to
change any time soon, nor do I find it reasonable to be required to
use ingress qdiscs to handle this problem.

I find Willem's changes extremely reasonable, and a good improvement
we should integrate now rather than pretending ingress qdiscs are an
acceptable alternative.  They aren't.
