Set the inode size to 256 to work around a newlib scandir check where a directory has to have a non-zero size to work. Set the size to greater than
24 bytes, a small dirent size so the allocator in scandir works.

The newlib scandir code should be updated to a more recent scandir from
FreeBSD where these checks have been removed. This change is a work
around to avoid new tools on the release branch.

With this change scandir works on IMFS, RFS and JFFS2.
I cannot find a scandir() test in the fstests for all file systems.

Closes #3332

This code is from the original JFFS2 support for eCos. Which side-effects has
this i_size change for directories? Why can't you place this hack in
rtems_jffs2_fstat()? This would reduce the impact area of this change.

I did not know the history of the RTEMS wrapper. I just assumed all code in that file is specific to RTEMS. The change I have makes things consistent. I still
think it is OK?

What do you mean with consistent? I thought this is a hack to make the Newlib scandir() happy? This i_size is used in several places. How do you know that you didn't accidentally broke something?


We have also this comment:

struct _inode {
    cyg_uint32        i_ino;

    int            i_count;
    mode_t            i_mode;
    nlink_t            i_nlink; // Could we dispense with this?
    uid_t            i_uid;
    gid_t            i_gid;
    time_t            i_atime;
    time_t            i_mtime;
    time_t            i_ctime;
//    union {
        unsigned short    i_rdev; // For devices only
        struct _inode *    i_parent; // For directories only
        off_t        i_size; // For files only
//    };
    struct super_block *    i_sb;
    struct jffs2_full_dirent * i_fd;

    struct jffs2_inode_info    jffs2_i;

        struct _inode *        i_cache_prev; // We need doubly-linked?
        struct _inode *        i_cache_next;
};

Which is no longer valid with this change.
