with decrement in global free pages.
The last sentence made my brain hurt.
Sorry. I was trying to point out that the global free and reserve
accounting is still the same when doing a page allocation, even
though the entire size of the subpool was reserved. For example,
when allocating a page the global free and reserve counts are both
decremented.
