I'm not sure of the Linux Kernel Runtiem Guard being used here, but 
allocating order-7 memory with GFP_ATOMIC is not at all expected to 
succeed.  The page allocator does not have the ability to do reclaim or to 
defragment memory using memory compaction in this context.

Suggest opening a bug for this with Openwall.
