That means you're running out of memory, in kernelspace. The order is
the power-of-two (2**n) of how many 4kB pages were requested, 0x4020 =
GFP_COMP|GFP_HIGH (compound & access emergency pools). Btrfs may be
indirectly related, it's not clear what's consuming all the memory,
but that doesn't sound all that likely. That message should be
followed by a stack dump, that might tell us more.

Are you using the Ceph distributed filesystem, or just the RADOS
level, e.g. RBD images?
