I've awakened twice in the past couple of weeks to pop-ups advising me that my MBP had restarted while I was asleep. The occurrences having happened while I was asleep - Music was running white noise and Safari was running in the background - leaves me clueless as to what might have triggered them. I've booted into Recovery and run First Aid, but everything's come up roses. I can't make heads or tails of the "panic" reports, but maybe someone else can: panic(cpu 4 caller 0xffffff801e89189b): userspace watchdog timeout: no successful checkins from WindowServer (2 induced crashes) in 120 seconds

Dunno. Energy Saver settings? Something woke it from sleep? Had a power failure while you were sleeping?

Dunno. Energy Saver settings? Something woke it from sleep? Had a power failure while you were sleeping? Nope, none of the above scenarios would have triggered a kernel panic. I just looked in Console, and it happened yesterday and on the 18th, both instances apparently having had something to do with WindowServer.

@kext.AMDRadeonX6000- the panic was raised by the task Watchdog due to a failure to receive a response from a task in the user area
- there were three kernel extensions in the backtrace com.binaryfruit.driver.SATSMARTDriver, kext.AMDRadeonX6100HWLibs, and
kext.AMDRadeonX6000.
Given that information and your recent history of issues with DriveDX there is at least a start for troubleshooting. The first question I have is in System Settings > Energy Saver is Put hard disk to sleep when possible On or OFF? What about Prevent automatic sleeping when the display is off? COMMENT: I wish there was an AI to analyze crash reports.

However, there are a few breadcrumbs that can be identified. Indeed, and I was hoping you could do better at identifying those crumbs than I could.

The first question I have is in System Settings > Energy Saver is Put hard disk to sleep when possible On or OFF? What about Prevent automatic sleeping when the display is off? To that, I'll add that each panic report was reported in Console as "Kernel" and accompanied by two "WindowServer" "Spin Reports" that are perhaps even more incomprehensible than the panic reports. ( See, and I've saved copies of the "Spin Reports" if you're interested in seeing them.) That makes me wonder if having IMGUR open in a Safari tab could be involved, because the Imgur page invariably has any number of animated thumbnails running at any given time. (I've begun quitting Safari before I go to sleep to see if it has any effect.) I'll discount DriveDx as a possible guilty party. It's always been erratic in its reporting on my thumb drive, but no more so recently than usual. (It's kevs who's reported issues with DriveDx, not me, and it appears to have been mentioned not as contributing factor, but simply as one of a number of kexts that were running at the time of the panics.) My Energy Saver settings (I've always wondered how/if the hard disk setting related to machines with SSDs.) COMMENT: I wish there was an AI to analyze crash reports. Wouldn't it be luverly!

That makes me wonder if having IMGUR open in a Safari tab could be involved, because the Imgur page invariably has any number of animated thumbnails running at any given time. (I've begun quitting Safari before I go to sleep to see if it has any effect.) Each report type is designed for the specific needs of a specific audience. None of them are designed for the user. In their raw form, many (most?), are unintelligible to any audience and what you see in the log files has been formatted and carefully tailored to their unique audience not to inform the user. I'll discount DriveDx as a possible guilty party. It's always been erratic in its reporting on my thumb drive, but no more so recently than usual. (It's kevs who's reported issues with DriveDx, not me, and it appears to have been mentioned not as contributing factor, but simply as one of a number of kexts that were running at the time of the panics.) There are clues in the report that indicated a hung or non-responsive task. The kext com.binaryfruit.driver.SATSMARTDriver 0.10.3 is near the bottom of the linked chin of tasks, therefore closer to the root cause. SATSMARTDriver is an Open-Source project used in several other applications, including TechTool Pro, to overcome limitations in the USB standard. - IIRC you use the thumb drive as a backup drive? If a backup were in process when DriveDX pinged the thumb drive, thumb drives typically lack the buffering that might allow a timely response to the ping causing the exception to be raised.
- The thumb drive may not wake fast enough to respond if it is "sleeping" when pinged.
- The issue may be related to the Radeon drive not responding or not responding fast enough.
In any case, the issue in DriveDX task lineage so by temporarily disabling DriveX, you can confirm the problem is either DriveDX or still farther downstream. After that, it is a slow, tedious process of disconnecting/disabling one device/task at a time until the cause is identified. At least it will allow you to practice your patience.

Thanks for the insight that the closer you get to the bottom of the report, the closer you are to the root of the problem. I ASSume that SATSMARTDriver isn't involved in my problem, because the crashes didn't occur while backups were in progress. I've got no idea what the AMDRadeonX6000 extension is or how it might be involved or investigated. Since the crash reports were accompanied by the WindowServer spin reports, I decided that maybe Safari/Imgur was somehow involved, I now close my Imgur tab while I'm sleeping, and the issue hasn't recurred in the month since. Fingers crossed.

I ASSume that SATSMARTDriver isn't involved in my problem, because the crashes didn't occur while backups were in progress. SATSMARTDriver is an open source utility that permits reading the S.M.A.R.T. values of a drive connected via USB. It is necessary because the USB protocol does not support reading the S.M.A.R.T. parameters and is installed by DriveDX. It plays no part in backups other than its operation might be blocked by a backup in progress.
