Thanks for your patience working through these revisions.

Instead, pass pkc->skb->dev in the callers that now pass NULL.

This is a workaround around min_header_len not being correct for vlan
devices. I agree that this is the right approach.

I'll take a look at how to make min_header_len more reliably useful.
But separate from this fix, for net-next.

I don't understand the second sentence. The code is self explanatory.
Drop the whole comment?

This complexity is unfortunate. But skb->dev is cleared in packet_rcv.

Use dev_get_by_index_rcu or netdev_get_by_index, per commment at
dev_get_by_index.
