Thanks for this patch, much appreciated.

A few questions:
1) I tried to apply to 3.14.0, and it all applied except one line:
--- fs/btrfs/send.c
+++ fs/btrfs/send.c
@@ -3091,6 +3121,8 @@
 	int ret;
 	u64 ancestor = 0;
 
+	ASSERT(sctx->phase != SEND_PHASE_COMPUTE_DATA_SIZE);
+
 	name = fs_path_alloc();
 	from_path = fs_path_alloc();
 	if (!name || !from_path) {

I looked around and found nothing that looked similar enough.
Obviously it's an assert, so I can run without it, but my source being
very different from yours just made me want to check that this was most
likely ok to run with 3.14.0.

2) I saw the concerns about protocol incompatibility. Is it an issue if you run without -o
too?

3) Do you have a patch for btrfs-tools so that I can try it, or a git
tree of btrfs-tools with this that I should pull?

4) Can I run btrfs send -o snap1 snap2 >/dev/null to get quick stats
on the changes between the 2 snapshots, or is it still going to walk
through all the data blocks and send them to /dev/null afterwards?
 
Thanks,
Marc
