I am inexperienced in submitting patches, sorry. I have revised my patch:

1.Check whether pci_pool_create is failed in e100_probe to avoid null
dereference in pci_pool_alloc(in e100_alloc_cbs).
2.Add netif_napi_del to match the call of netif_napi_add.

Is it okay?

    Fixing one issue per patch is the rule of thumb.

    Again, your sign-off is required. See Documentation/SubmittingPatches.

    Space needed after *if*. Please run your patches thru
scripts/checkpatch.pl.
