Acknowledged.

CONFIG_SMB_SERVER=m
CONFIG_SMB_SERVER_CHECK_CAP_NET_ADMIN=y

I have queued the above two configuration options to be applied for the next build of the kernel-ml package set, both el7 and el8.

I can confirm with 5.15.6-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64 ksmbd.ko is available and working.
Thank you!

Thank you for testing the latest kernel-ml package set for el7 . . . before I had even announced it's availability!

For consistency, the equivalent kernel-ml package set for el8 also has the same two configuration options set.

We have also built the relevant userland tools from the cifsd-team [1] for both el7 and el8. They are currently undergoing review and will be released shortly. Would the ksmbd-tools package be of interest to you?

I'm a little bit sneaky...
Yes, sure, ksmbd-tools are welcome. I'll check them.

Just for the record: Compared to Samba 4.15 used only as server on low-end hardware ksmbd is much more resource friendly and delivers much more consistent transfer rates especially on write operations.

The ksmbd-tools package has now been released to the elrepo-testing repository. (For both el7 & el8.)

Once the package has been shown to be viable it will be promoted to the main repository.

As far as I can tell ksmbd-tools are working.

Thank you. As a result of your feedback, I shall promote the ksmbd-tools packages to the main repository. (Both el7 & el8.)

Now closing this request as "resolved/fixed".
