Hmm,  Could you clarify following ?
  
  - Usage of memory at insertsion and usage of memory at reclaim is different.
    So, this *sorted* order by RB-tree isn't the best order in general.
    Why don't you sort this at memory-reclaim dynamically ?
  - Considering above, the look of RB tree can be

                +30M (an amount over soft limit is 30M)
                /  \
             -15M   +60M
     ?

    At least, pleease remove the node at uncharge() when the usage goes down.

Thanks,
-Kame
