Agreed.

When I wrote fq_codel, I was not expecting that one UDP socket could
fill fq_codel with packets, since we have standard backpressure.

SO_SNDBUF default on UDP does not allow to send more than 256 packets in
a qdisc. So when sk_sndbuf limit is hit, sendmsg() either blocks or
returns an error (if in non blocking mode)

So it looks like someone really tries hard ;)

To reproduce the issue I had to change (as root user)

echo 1000000 >/proc/sys/net/core/wmem_default

_and_ setup fq_codel with a much lower limit than the default 10240
limit

tc qdisc replace dev eth0 root fq_codel limit 300

So please try this fix :
