For ucast traffic, qeth_iqd_select_queue() falls back to netdev_pick_tx(). This will potentially use skb_tx_hash() to distribute the flow over all active TX queues - so txq 0 is a valid selection, and qeth_iqd_select_queue() needs to check for this and put it on some other queue. As a result, the distribution for ucast flows is unbalanced and hits QETH_IQD_MIN_UCAST_TXQ heavier than the other queues. Open-coding a custom variant of skb_tx_hash() isn't an option, since netdev_pick_tx() also gives us eg. access to XPS. But we can pull a little trick: add a single TC class that excludes the mcast txq, and thus encourage skb_tx_hash() to not pick the mcast txq.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
