Do you really need to implement another queue, or could you just have it
return an error eg ERR_WOULD_BLOCK if there is no longer room on the
existing TCP send queue, and let the task retry later?

Follow-up Comment #1, task #7865 (project lwip):

As background, Piero is primarily concerned with the BSD sockets
interface.
lwIP does implement O_NONBLOCK in the sockets layer, but only for rx.
Not for tx.

It's easy to make the first write non-blocking just by always waking up
the caller, but to allow subsequent ones to be non-blocking before the
first write's data is completely sent would require being able to store
a list of pending writes. I don't think the implementation would be
meaningful until the code does that.

Obviously you need to check against tcp_sndbuf before deciding whether
to return EAGAIN immediately or append to that list. I'm not sure
whether there should also be a check against the send queue length
(TCP_SND_QUEUELEN). If there was, there would have to be some
consideration of when to trigger:
      API_EVENT(conn, NETCONN_EVT_SENDPLUS, len); for the use of
lwip_select().

As a result, to keep things simple I think it's probably best just to
accept the data for writing anyway. At least for now. Other opinions
welcome.
(Especially since I at least won't be able to work on this for some
time).
