Yes and this is to be expected. Direct reclaim doesn't guarantee any
progress for high order allocations. We might be reclaiming pages which
cannot be coalesced.

It is really strange that __zone_watermark_ok claimed DMA32 unusable
here. With the target of 312734 which should easilly pass the wmark
check for the particular order and there are 116*16kB 15*32kB 1*64kB
blocks "usable" for our request because GFP_KERNEL can use both
Unmovable and Movable blocks. So it makes sense to wait for more order-0
allocations to pass the basic (NR_FREE_MEMORY) watermark and continue
with this particular allocation request.

The nr_reserved_highatomic might be too high to matter but then you see
[1] the reserce being 0. So this doesn't make much sense to me. I will
dig into it some more.
