Thanks for the revision. It addresses many of my comments.

__vlan_get_protocol exists to parse through possibly multiple VLAG
tags to the inner non-VLAN protocol.

Since you only want the outer VLAN tag, you can use skb_header_pointer
directly. No need for vlan_depth.

Similar to what __vlan_get_tag does, but with safe access as it is not
guaranteed that the data beyond the link layer lies in skb linear.

No, let's not touch those.
