For those interested, I have now actually tested the btrfs send / btrfs receive 
backup for several subvolumes after applying this patch. 
The throughput is finally usable, almost hitting network / IO limits as 
expected - ideal so far! 
Also delta seemed fine for the subvolumes for which things worked. 

However, I now sadly get (for one of my subvolumes): 

send ioctl failed with -2: No such file or directory

at some point during the transfer, it sadly seems to be reproducible. 
I do not think it's related to this patch, but of course this makes "btrfs 
send" still unusable to me - 
I guess it's not ready for general use just yet. 
Is there any information I can easily extract / provide to allow the experts to 
fix this issue?
The kernel log shows nothing. 

Thanks a lot, 
        Oliver
