37 length variable name seems too long.

no comment fields.

Do usage_in_excess and last_tree_update have what unit? "unsigned long"
don't tell me anything.

In general, memory subsystem be considered to shouldn't have timer thing.
it's because we expect we get 100x times faster machine after 10 year,
at that time, we expect proper timeout value is changed.

Can we make proper stastics, instead?

I think this function is called from page fault hotpath, right?
if so, you insert global lock into hotpath!

incorrect time_after() usage. jiffies can round-tripping. then
time_after(jiffies, 0) don't gurantee to return true.
