Created attachment 88041 [details] Kernel OOPS message There's something wrong at snd_usbmidi_output_close(). When using gdigi with a Digitech RP-255 pedal, sometimes I disconnect the pedal before closing gdigi. When gdigi is later closed, Kernel panics at snd_usbmidi_output_close(). I suspect that there are some missing tests there, to see if the device's data are still there. The end result is a Kernel panic: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000190 IP: [<ffffffff8143fb54>] usb_autopm_put_interface+0x14/0x40 ... Call Trace: [<ffffffffa078f809>] snd_usbmidi_output_close+0x29/0x40 [snd_usbmidi_lib] ... I'm attaching the full OOPS message, and the lsusb -v info of the device.
