I am also facing similar issue while applying this patch.

The problem is not on my end.  It made it to marc.info without
getting corrupted.  Marc.info strips out the From: and Subject:
headers so you'd have to add them in manually.

1) Save this file:
http://marc.info/?l=kernel-janitors&m=134062314509635&q=raw

2) Edit the file and add these two lines add the top:

From: Dan Carpenter <redacted>
Subject: [patch v2] Btrfs: fix error handling in __add_reloc_root()

3) $ git am /home/dcarpenter/tmp/html2/btrfs_raw.txt
Applying: Btrfs: fix error handling in __add_reloc_root()
