This is the way used in VM readahead(i.e. read_pages/mpage_readpages/
read_cache_pages).
So what you worry about is that using lonely add_to_page_cache_lru()
may cause exception, is it?

It could be.
This make ra_node_pages() synchronized, because we should read node_footer->nid
from updated node page before we cache node pages, and we will still use page
list to
pass the updated page.
Why not introduce f2fs_cache_node_pages() include your code to cache node pages
after
ra_node_pages()?
