syzbot reported general protection fault in midibuf_is_full.
the cause is linemidi pointer in struct usb_line6 isn't properly
initialized.

the pointer isn't initialized because there is race condition
in line6_probe. it calls line6_init_cap_control first, which submits urb.
and then it initializes it's data using private_init function.

so it's possible line6_data_received is called before it's
data isn't initialized.

Oh, I missed it! there was another caller of line6_init_midi.
your fix seems promising to me. it's putting line6_init_midi
to the right place.

by the way looking at code, I think this driver needs some
refactoring... it doesn't handle exceptions well.

Thanks,

I'm kinda new to linux,
but tell me any time if there's something I can help!

thanks,

Yeap, this driver is so complex,
and I agree that we need actual device to test
if we do that big scale of refactoring.

Sadly I don't have one :(

Thanks,
