Subject: [2.6.25.8] "kswapd0: page allocation failure. order:3" in tcp_collapse

My Intel Pentium D940 system, Intel DQ965GF mainboard, 2 GB RAM, running an
x86_32 build of kernel release 2.6.25.8 with openSUSE 10.3 userland, produced
the message in the subject accompanied by a stack backtrace, seven times in a
row within a few milliseconds, during the nightly backup of a Windows system
through Bacula over the LAN. The backup did not report an error, though, and
everything else seems to be running normally, too.

The kernel is built with CONFIG_SLUB=y.
