Minor issue: We should move the purged check into the loop so that purge
buffer structs get released even when they're too small/big. Otherwise
we'll have a good chance to hang onto gobloads of structs forever.

I mentioned that we should do the purge of structs in our oom-notifier
as well to be safe.
I understand Daniel's suggestion to move the purge check into the loop (will do that) but I'm not familiar w/ the oom-notifier at all and so don't know how to do what Chris is asking w/ out ramping up. Is it not critical, follow up type work or is it absolutely necessary to have before merge? It sounded like the first.

Thx,
Mike

Given that we don't purge the sturcts for userspace purged objects (we
could just clear everything but the idr slot and mark it specially) I
don't think we need this here. At least not until we have this for
userspace bos since there's lots more of those I think.

Well discarding userspace purged objects requires a special zombie
handle, but these pure in-kernel structs we have complete control over
and so are much simpler to clean up.
