Yes it is contiguous, but unfortunately, the problem remains:
[   56.536930] check_zone_contiguous: Normal
[   56.543467] check_zone_contiguous: Normal: contiguous
[   56.549640] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffea0082000018
[   56.557717] IP: [<ffffffff81193f29>] compaction_alloc+0xf9/0x270
[   56.564719] PGD 107ffd6067 PUD 207f7d5067 PMD 0

Full dmesg attached.
