34d2cde8a8 net/l2/l3/l4: add support of iob offload 
1. Add new config CONFIG_NET_LL_GUARDSIZE to isolation of l2 stack,
   which will benefit l3(IP) layer for multi-MAC(l2) implementation,
   especially in some NICs such as celluler net driver.

new configuration options: CONFIG_NET_LL_GUARDSIZE

CONFIG_NET_LL_GUARDSIZE will reserved l2 buffer header size of
network buffer to isolate the L2/L3 (MAC/IP) data on network layer,
which will be beneficial to L3 network layer protocol transparent
transmission and forwarding

------------------------------------------------------------
Layout of frist iob entry:

        iob_data (aligned by CONFIG_IOB_ALIGNMENT)
            |
            |                  io_offset(CONFIG_NET_LL_GUARDSIZE)
            |                                |
            -------------------------------------------------
      iob   |            Reserved            |    io_len    |
            -------------------------------------------------

            -------------------------------------------------

2. Support iob offload to l2 driver to avoid unnecessary memory copy

Support send/receive iob vectors directly between the NICs and l3/l4
stack to avoid unnecessary memory copies, especially on hardware that
supports Scatter/gather, which can greatly improve performance.

new interface to support iob offload:

  ------------------------------------------
  |    IOB version     |     original      |
  |----------------------------------------|
  |  devif_iob_poll()  |   devif_poll()    |
  |       ...          |       ...         |
  ------------------------------------------

eb8668b0f7 net/: Add procfs support for network device status 2015-11-27 16:39:14 -06:00
Gregory Nutt
33085cb309 Networking: The network device list was protected by a re-entrant semaphore. With the recent change to support network device callback, the network stack needs to access the network device list too. Some drivers, however, run the network stack from the interrupt level -- this is bad but a fact in the current state. Of course,those drivers are unable to take the semaphore and will assert. 
The solution here is to eliminate the device devices semaphore altogether.  This eliminates netdev_semtake() and netdev_semgive() and replaces them with net_lock() and net_unlock() which have larger scope as needed for this purpose.
