+commit b8d966efd9a46a9a35beac50cbff6e30565125ef
+Author: NeilBrown <neilb at suse.de>

+
+    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.

+Adjusted to apply to Debian's 2.6.24 by dann frazier <dannf at debian.org>
