>Description:
The authors of PF mistankely have inserted this patch which doesn't allow propper configuration of ALTQ_HFSC. With these parameters you can get a concave curve!
Even if you read the paper dedicated to HFSC on acm.org you will see that the original author used a curve prohibitted by authors of PF.
