You did not describe something you explored yourself that we could discuss and you have not asked a specific question that could be used to point you to something specific. So I'd suggest finding a copy of "Linux Device Drivers" by Corbet, Kroah-Hartman and Rubini. See chapter 17: Network drivers and 17.3 for net_device. Else if you use your favourite searchengine with the words NETIF_F_SG and NETIF_F_FRAGLIST you'll find some discussions or else check the kernel source for netdevice.h which should hold NETIF_.* feature masks and start from there.
