Order 7 - so it wants 2**7 contiguous pages.  128 4K pages.

And that 3205.nnn tells me the system has been running for almost an hour. Going
to be hard finding that much contiguous free memory.

Usually CMA is called right at boot to avoid this problem - why is this
triggering so late?

That's.... a *really* long stall.

First possibility that comes to mind is that a usermodehelper got launched, and
it then tried to fork with a very large active process image.  Do we have any
clues what was going on?  Did a device get hotplugged?
