On Oracle Linux 6, you would run the UEK Release 3, which is based on 3.8 mainline with upstream fixes. We also provide all security and bug fix errata for free viahttp://public-yum.oracle.com, so you don’t need to buy support to run Oracle Linux at keep up-to-date.

btrfs send does not work with 32bit userland and 64bit kernel when I
last tried it a few weeks ago.
Thankfully I had debian, so I was able to upgrade just btrfs-tools to
64bit without upgrading my entire system, and that solved it.
