It looks like the key is the first sfq qdisc (tc qdisc add dev $DEV parent 1:2 handle 2: sfq - in my example). When there is no traffic in this qdisc for about 45 seconds (shorter time when there is no traffic at all on the interface) - it stalls. Other qdiscs stall also. So there is no packet flow on that interface. Removing filters ('flow' filters) does'nt help. I have to remove (all) sfq qdiscs. And then the traffic is resumed.

Please capture the output of "tc -s -d qdisc show dev <dev>" and
"tc -s -d class show dev <dev>" immediately after it stalls.
I'm interested in the amount of bytes/packets queued at the moment.
