Here is snipit of my process list. root 2847 1 0 Apr18 ? 00:00:01 [nfsd] root 2848 1 0 Apr18 ? 00:00:02 [nfsd] root 2849 1 0 Apr18 ? 00:00:01 [nfsd] root 2850 1 0 Apr18 ? 00:00:00 [nfsd] root 2853 1 0 Apr18 ? 00:00:00 [lockd] The code resides in fs/nfsd and it does have a function to unlink a file (nfsd_unlink). The implementation looks different than sys_unlink, but eventually it calls vfs_unlink as well. It may be a good resource to reference if I choose to actually delete a file within the kernel.
