Uptime 17 days, it's a server that does a lot of I/O, but free shows I have
6GB available for buffer cache out of 8, so that shouldn't be too bad. Seems
like I'm hitting an issue with memory fragmentation or a specific kind of
memory not being available?
(but I don't have any other kernel processes complaining about memory
allocation failure, at least not consistently like here)

Good suggestion, but I already have it:
gargamel:~# grep CONFIG_COMPACTION /boot/config-4.3.3-amd64-i915-volpreempt-20150421
CONFIG_COMPACTION=y
Thanks for the replies,
