The above check implies that kernel can feed a network device with
skb->protocol value mismatches actual skb content. Can you share any
example of such case?
If you just want to be sure that the user packet is either IPv4 or IPv6
then it can be done like this and without error messages:
/* Support only IPv4 or IPv6 traffic transporting */
if (unlikely(skb->protocol == ETH_P_IP || skb->protocol == ETH_P_IPV6))
goto drop;
