Big Sur panic when connect/disconnect usb-c dock

I've got MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019) 2.6 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7 32 GB 2667 MHz DDR4 MD Radeon Pro 5300M 4 GB Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB running 11.6.2 (20G314) and I am having the same problem when plugging into my Belkin Thunderbolt 3 Express Dock HD - Docking station - (Thunderbolt 3) - GigE - 170 Watt . I noticed that sometimes it crashes even with all monitors unplugged. Everything works perfectly fine without the docking station (two 4k monitors via usb-c, 1 GB lan).

I did not have any problems like this in the past with older MacBook Pro 14-inch (2018) running on Catalina.

MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019) 2.4 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9 64 GB 2667 MHz DDR4 AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 8 GB

Experienced the issue since 11.3.1 on Big Sur, upgrade to Monterey 12.1 and haven't had the issue since.

Running Mac OS 11.6.2 and have been chasing this issue for multiple weeks. Every time I go through a sleep/wake cycle, if the Mac was removed from the Dock (and sometimes when it is re-attached to the dock) the Mac power cycles and throws a crash report, which I dutifully submit to Apple.

Given that this is A) widespread and ongoing for weeks across all M1 models on Big Sur 11.3 and later, and given that Big Sur is no longer being supported fully by Apple (e.g., they've moved on to Monterey) the conclusion I reach is that they will not be fixing this, which is disappointed. We could summarize the passive reply from Apple as follows:

"Sorry, but our defective operating system will not be fixed. Please update to our next buggy operating system, Monterey, and maybe the issue will be fixed there."

This is seriously disappointing, of course. Apple supposedly supports the current OS and the previous 2, but in this case all available info from Apple and the support community leads to the conclusion that updating to Monterey is the only way to regain stability on the Mac M1 platform. Lost data? Lost reliability? Lost of confidence? Apple: "we don't care."

Having the same issues on all my work laptops which sucks. Means that I can’t use my setup. This needs to be fixed Apple. I’ve submitted these requests for more than a year now. This is not acceptable and shows everyone that you’ve pushed us to use Thunderbolt but then don’t even support it properly.

I receive panic(cpu 1 caller 0xfffffff01d67a024): x86 CPU CATERR detected at least daily on my MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019), which is connected via TB3 to a Samsung monitor with a hub built-in.

I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2018) connected in the same way, using the same cable, connected to the same model of monitor, and it never has a problem - this is obviously a hardware issue with the 16-inch 2019 models based on all the messages here.

The 2019 model is my work system, so I am currently held back to Monterey 12.0.1, but experienced these issues in Catalina as well.

I have been dealing with this issue for months; multiple kernel panic/crashes per day any time I dock or un-dock via USB-C. I just upgraded from Big Sur to Monterey 12.1 (since Apple wouldn't open a support case for me until I did that) - and it actually hasn't had the issue since then. I have docked and undocked several times, even quickly, with no crash. So, if upgrading the OS is an option, give it a try.

12.1 works! My office just approved 12.1 this week and I was able to upgrade beyond 12.0.1. I haven't had a kernel panic in days, and I've been able to keep my lid closed and wake it with my bluetooth keyboard.

This has been widespread between several of our companies iMac's. This is the latest error

. Search again for panic(cpu 2 caller 0xffffff8003a4cc9b): "can't have a namedstream vnode without a valid name\n"@/System/Volumes/Data/SWE/macOS/BuildRoots/d7e177bcf5/Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/apfs/apfs-1677.141.1/kext/apfs_vfsutils.c:297 Backtrace (CPU 2), Frame : Return Address 0xffffffa1a8762bd0 :

It's different than the others. Does "can't have a namedstream vnote without a valid name" sound like a different issue? Hoping someone has resolved this before.

One of the other iMac's won't get passed the apple at startup. Tried starting it in recovery but it won't respond to any keys being pressed after cutting the power for over 10 seconds. Ready to pull my hair out dealing with all these issues! Come on apple! Get some answers to the loyal supporters who would only change away if it's forced through issues like these!

Since updating to MacOS to 12.2, my MacBook Pro Intel 2020 is crashing most of the time when disconnecting from a Dell WD19TB docking station. I only rarely had this problem before 12.2.

I have save issue with a mac mini m1, Moneterey 12.2.1, apple I need my money back, f this shit.

I was having the "element modified after free" kernel panic issue on my 16 inch MBP running 11.6 when connecting to a Dell monitor via usb-c cable which is also the power cable. After having gone through this thread here is a list of things that helped few users.

Thanks to one of the posts here, turning off MST has resolved my issue on 11.6 itself.

1. Update OS to 12.x
2. use DisplayPort 1.1 (instead of the default 1.2) on monitor, menu -> Display -> DP 1.2 -> Disable
3. On the monitor, turn off MST which is only needed to daisy chain monitors
4. Switch from USB c to HDMI for display
5. Use different USB c cable or Apple multiport adapter

same issue, mac mini 2018; even with wiped and freshly installed system with nothing except HDMI and ethernet plugged in, no additional SW added, merely logging in and letting it sit would reliably crash it after 25-26 minutes. Took it to "genius" bar last week, they kept the machine for a few days and said they couldn't repro. I brought it home same setup and it was fine for a whole day -- they didn't admit to having done anything to fix it but I was happy. That wasn't long-lived. Now it has crashed every day or two which is less frequently than before but problem persists. Also note this happened last summer too and the geniuses recommended I replace the logic board last fall (cost me almost $500), which also did not fix the problem -- a problem they refuse to admit there is ("our diagnostics give it a clean bill of health") Shame, Apple

I have a Kensington TB dock (dual monitors) which had been working fine, no new hardware or software aside from maybe MacOS (Big Sur) updates. It suddenly started experiencing kernel panics on my 2019 16" MPB when I was not using it (never when I was). This would happen multiple times a day if I rebooted and then ;eft it running. I had an almost exact duplicate setup at another location (same dock, same type cables connecting monitors) and it never had a kernel panic. I finally decided to try to debug the setup difference and found that if I swapped out the TB3 cable connected between the dock and the MBP 16" I now no longer have kernel panics.

We are also seeing this issue in our office.

20x Apple 2019 Intel, Macbook Pros. Using the WD19 Dell dock, with shipping firmware and the latest firmware as of March 30'th (Just came out)

I've also just confirmed this issue on a HP USB-C Dock G4, again with latest firmware. While inconsistent, absoloutely can hard crash the mac (fan spins hard) upon plugging in the dock, sometimes. Probably one in 3 times? Very bad.

Precise error is.

"your computer has been restarted due to a problem" Looks like this https://i.ytimg.com/vi/s9Lry8SXbgI/hqdefault.jpg

Very, very frustrating, we're talking about $180 USD and $250 USD docks here, the WD19 is a powerful high quality dock. Based on the replies here, it seems to me, there's no consistent fix for this.

Probably one in 3 times? Very bad. Also of interest is the dock otherwise works fine. The problem only occurs unplugging or plugging in the dock sometimes. If you catch it in the right mood, it will work. (You may also see, mouse lag oddities)

Precise error is. "your computer has been restarted due to a problem" (if you google that, you may see a similar black image of it)
