Changing a sparse file could have an effect not only on the file size, but also on the number of blocks used by the file in the underlying filesystem. The server's cache_consistency_bitmap doesn't update the SPACE_USED attribute, so let's switch to the nfs4_fattr_bitmap to catch this update whenever we do an ALLOCATE or DEALLOCATE. This patch fixes xfstests generic/568, which tests that fallocating an unaligned range allocates all blocks touched by that range. Without this patch, `stat` reports 0 bytes used immediately after the fallocate. Adding a `sleep 5` to the test also catches the update, but it's better to do so when we know something has changed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
