My 15" Macbook Pro (mid-2015) starts to thrash despite plenty of disk space after sleeping until it becomes unusably slow with a lagging mouse pointer. After a restart, it shows the dreaded "your computer restarted due to a problem" screen.
I'm running a few kernel extensions, most notably Karabiner-Elements v10.22.
What could the cause be? Is there a corrupt kernel file somewhere? Memory problem? Other hardware issue?
I'm running macOS Mojave 10.14.5, but this has happened with prior versions.
Here is the panic report:

It’s going to be a bit challenging to put that panic and then get a core dump and put it in Inspector or a debugger to determine the actual code running.
I would get stats - can you figure out how to trigger this? How long does it take to get 10 panics?
Then pull all third party KEXT and wait the time it would have panicked 10 times. You’ll have a pretty good idea if it’s hardware or software at that point.
Since you’re likely out of warranty, getting Apple to analyze this will be challenging. Memory can cause panics anywhere, but since you’re seeing storage specific, I’d consider swapping that or upgrading if you can’t get diagnostics run from Apple directly or AASP.
tldr - you can spend effort to symbolicate / trace exactly what happened here, but sometimes doing a little process of elimination and logging / looking at the frequency of panics can get you the same answer with much less time invested.
