I don't think I saw an updated description, so I've taken care of
updating the description and applied the patch:

commit 3c17714e61314b101fb9bb671e7191ef1e9e63f3

    ext4: fix COLLAPSE RANGE test for bigalloc file systems
    
    Blocks in collapse range should be collapsed per cluster unit when
    bigalloc is enable. If bigalloc is not enable, EXT4_CLUSTER_SIZE will
    be same with EXT4_BLOCK_SIZE.
    
    With this bug fixed, patch enables COLLAPSE_RANGE for bigalloc, which
    fixes a large number of xfstest failures which use fsx.
