Any preference? To me, "allocated" has some risk of sounding like
it refers to the total free space map (memory allocated for fsm)
instead of just the used ones. "Allocated" is actually used for
that other meaning on the next line. I guess it's confusing there
too, so that line should be changed as well.
How about if I go for "used" in that first line; and simply remove the
word "Allocated" in the DETAIL line.
So instead of:

With those changes, the patch now looks like this...
