What steps will reproduce the bug?

test.mjs script:

import fs from 'node:fs';
{
 let dir;
 try {
 dir = fs.opendirSync(import.meta.dirname, { bufferSize: Infinity });
 console.log('successfully got', dir);
 } catch(e) {
 console.log('dir is:', dir, 'error is:', e);
 } finally {
 dir?.closeSync();
 }
}
globalThis.gc();
setImmediate(() => {});

Run it with expose GC flag:

$ node --expose-gc test.mjs

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

Always, assuming GC runs.

What is the expected behavior? Why is that the expected behavior?

The "successfully got" should not be printed.
The catched error must be ERR_OUT_OF_RANGE because of bad bufferSize.
The dir should be either:

• An instance of fs.Dir that we can closeSync() gracefully
• undefined assuming opendirSync internally did cleanup

And most importantly, this code must not emit any warnings.

What do you see instead?

dir is: undefined error is: RangeError [ERR_OUT_OF_RANGE]: The value of "options.bufferSize" is out of range. It must be an integer. Received Infinity

}
(node:8286) Warning: Closing directory handle on garbage collection
(Use `node --trace-warnings ...` to show where the warning was created)

Which means: dir stays undefined so we can not do anything about it, but the internal directory handle remains open until GC hunts it down.

Additional information

I haven't checked if fsPromises.opendir nor fs.opendir have similar problem but most likely they do.

I think this can be fixed on JS side, the patch is WIP.
