Re: quic in-kernel implementation?

I am interested in this as well (encrypted and non-encrypted QUIC
cases in kernel)
Short term given that Windows is the only server than currently
support it - testing probably needs to be done via upcall with
SMB3.1.1 Linux mounts to Windows, and once that is verified to work
(as a baseline for comparison) - start work on the kernel QUIC driver
But for the initial point of comparison - would be helpful to have
example code that exposes a kernel "socket like" ("sock_sendmsg") API
for upcall ... and once we verify that that works start the work on
the kernel driver

I'd be interested in a non-encrypted version of QUIC also in the kernel (may not be supported in the spec but possible and I think worth having), would be useful for cases where you don't care about network ossification protection or data-in-transit encryption, say a trusted local network where you would prefer the performance and reliability advantages of going plaintext and you don't want to figure out how to deploy certififcates. Something that could be used as a straight swap for a TCP socket.
