Don't try to add in CoDel things that should be done at another layer.
There is no classification in CoDel : Its a FIFO.

Only way is to prioritize control packets if you need to, and use
several queues.

I dont understand... Are you saying that you feel the need to drop
packets instead of marking them in a 'good citizen world' (none of your
flow pretends to use ECN to avoid drops) ?
