That looks like a driver failure.

The driver is trying to do a 32 kbyte GFP_ATOMIC memory allocation. 
rofl, good luck with that.

But the netwoking code sould survive this.

<12 billion more page allocation failures>

Are you using jumbo frames or have you manually set the MTU to
something enormous?  Because 32k is a pretty crazy amount of memory for
the driver to be trying to allocate - it's going to fail all over the
place, as you have discovered.
