It failed for you, but generally it works.

That's an allocation of 64 KiB with mode GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_COMP |
__GFP_NOTRACK.

Strange.  The system had lots of RAM and swap available.  The Normal
zone was fragmented so no 64 KiB blocks were immediately available, but
this allocation could have waited for defragmentation if needed.

(Such fragmentation only occurs after the system has been running for
some time, so I'm confident nfsd will successfully load if you try
loading it shortly after booting.)

Do you have any VM settings in /etc/sysctl.conf or /etc/sysctl.d?

Ben.
