From b8d966efd9a46a9a35beac50cbff6e30565125ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NeilBrown Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2009 11:14:04 +1000 Subject: md: avoid dereferencing NULL pointer when accessing suspend_* sysfs attributes. If we try to modify one of the md/ sysfs files suspend_lo or suspend_hi when the array is not active, we dereference a NULL. Protect against that.
