I don't know exactly, I've only briefly glanced at the code which hints at some kind of a "cookie" mechanism.
Until I (or someone else) can think up with a better solution, I've bypassed the dircache code in my kernel; hooking readdir() directly into SMB's FINDFIRST/FINDNEXT mechanism. A little bit slower, but safe.
