Have you verified this is the case on different BSD flavours perhaps?

kubkon created PR Review Comment:

Is this loop necessary for actual OSes? I thought that libc::PATH_MAX existed for a reason and the OS would never return a path that is actually longer, or am I missing something here?

On WASI, it makes sense to loop since we AFAIK we don't have the concept of a PATH_MAX since it's so platform-dependent and could actually leak what host we're running on, but I'm not sure this loop is at all necessary on actual OSes. Plus, doesn't it lead to unnecessary allocs which could have been easily handled using static buffers instead like it was prior to this change?

WASI's RawFd is u32. libc::fdopendir takes a c_int, which is signed i32.

As above, RawFd is a u32 on WASI.

It's a microkernel with L4 ancestry. It's just here because I looked that Rust's libc crate to see which platforms needed this, and it was one of them.

Ah, yes. FreeBSD's readdir says:

The function returns NULL upon
reaching the end of the directory or on error. In the event of an error,
errno may be set to any of the values documented for the getdirentries(2)
system call.

The Unix convention for situatuations like this is to set errno to 0 before the call, and check if it's non-zero after the call. POSIX's description of readdir makes this explicit:

Applications wishing to check for error situations should set errno to 0 before calling readdir(). If errno is set to non-zero on return, an error occurred.

For WASI, I want to avoid PATH_MAX because the actual value of PATH_MAX depends on the underlying host OS, so it's better for WASI code to avoid making size assumptions. But you're right that other platforms don't need this. I've now made this code conditional to restore stack allocation.
