Modified files:
	gfs-kernel/src/gfs: ops_file.c 

Log message:
	Bugzilla 214274: GFS has been splitting large writes into smaller atomic
	transactions. This would generate multiple aio completion calls (one
	for each transaction) that falsely notify application about data
	completion. Problem is reported by QA team as data corruption.
