Generally speaking a general protection fault is a type of interrupt initiated by a system protection mechanism responding to an access violation caused by some running code. In this case it seems to be an unrepeatable bug acknowledged by Linus Torvalds.
A system reboot is likely to assist in resolving this bug and restoring connectivity.
