Minor stuff:1. Please use shorter variable names, rather than:              unsigned short vlan_first_id;      I would choose:              u16 vlan1;
2. You probably can use skb->protocol rather than having to look at the packet    contents to check for 8021Q.
3. Don't use __constant_htons(), just use htons().   The macro is smart enough to handle the   constant case, and it reads better, without the __constant_prefix.

Major stuff:1. This won't work with hardware accel VLAN receive. The tag is not put in   the skb?
