| |
We have been trying to experiment with using QUIC for access to network file systems (Samba, Windows etc. over SMB3.1.1 over QUIC) but cifs.ko is a kernel driver.
Are there any examples of using QUIC from Linux kernel drivers? Or suggestions on how to do this (I didn't see any QUIC kernel drivers yet from a "git grep" of 5.6-rc7). Presumably worst case scenario is that the kernel driver could upcall for the authentication phase, and then presumably there is a better way to avoid upcalls for the rest.
There were some details on how Windows did this at the annual large Storage Developer Conference (https://youtu.be/xUvfjZXIu9E) but was wondering if any progress with figuring out how kernel drivers can use QUIC.
-- Thanks,
Steve
