What dircetory entries go into the dentry cache? Are all dircetory
entries of open files in the system file table in that cache, assuming
the file still has an dircetory entry in the filesystem?

What if I open a file and then unlink the directory entry used to open
it. Is the directory entry removed from the cache, or is it held
until the file is closed?
