We normally diff from the root of the kernel tree between a
pristine tree and a modified tree such that:

--- 2.6.x-xfs-new.orig/fs/xfs/xfs_log.c 2008-04-23 09:31:29.000000000 +1000
+++ 2.6.x-xfs-new/fs/xfs/xfs_log.c      2008-04-24 10:39:15.696830268 +1000
@@ -226,20 +226,24 @@ xlog_grant_sub_space(struct log *log, in
 static void
 xlog_grant_add_space_write(struct log *log, int bytes)
....

is the path in the patch and you apply it via 'patch -p1 < file'
in the root of the kernel tree.

   ^^^^^^^

And it looks like your mailer has converted tabs to spaces.

Don't worry about either of those things for this patch, I've
fixed them up when applying them to my test tree.

Cheers,
