Yeah, I hit this several times a few days ago.  Same story: it just
randomly went splat in response to no obvious stimulus.  Reported it to
netdev, was greeted with stunned silence.

I had more complete info: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/66966

You're using DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, but I was not, so I think we can rule that out.

I haven't worked out where that kmap_atomic() call is coming from yet. 
Both traces point up into the page allocator, but I _think_ that's stack
gunk.
