The kernel says that it was a GFP_NOWAIT allocation request, which does not
wait for page reclaim or others.

  java: page allocation failure: order:0, mode:0x400000(GFP_NOWAIT), nodemask=(null),cpuset=/,mems_allowed=0
  CPU: 6 PID: 7121 Comm: java Kdump: loaded Not tainted 4.19.95-29 #1

Question is why it was a GFP_NOWAIT allocation request. Try installing debuginfo kernel
package and decoding exact call traces (filenames and lines) using scripts/faddr2line .
