Not being a dev I won't attempt to comment on the patch itself, but the 
title, please prefix the patch title with either btrfs: if it's for the 
kernel (as here), or btrfs-progs: if for userspace.

I was a bit confused here, thinking userspace, when it's apparently a 
kernel patch.  (The significance here being that I've not upgraded to 4.4-
rc kernel yet, and now probably won't until this gets in, since I tend to 
use -dusage=x balance filters reasonably frequently.  If I had already 
upgraded, I'd have probably dropped the patch into my autoapply dir until 
it was applied upstream.)

So...

[PATCH] Fix balance regression in 4.4-rc

... would become...

[PATCH] btrfs: fix balance regression in 4.4-rc

(Initial capitalization, fix/Fix, seems to be poster's choice.)
