Title:
  3.13: libvirtd: page allocation failure: order:4, mode:0x1040d0

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  [Impact] 
   * libvirtd is no longer able to open the vhost_net device.  This causes the 
guest VM to hang.  This happens if memory becomes fragmented to the point where 
vhost_net_open is not able to successfully kmalloc.

   * Gratuitous stack trace.

   * justification: cloud.

   * The patches fix this issue by allowing vhost_net_open to use
  vmalloc when kmalloc fails to find a sufficient page.

  [Test Case]

   * Fragment Kernel memory.  Write to Nic from within a kvm guest that
  uses a virtio nic.

  [Regression Potential]

   * Fix was implemented upstream in 3.15, and still exists.

   * Testing TBD
