Re: [f2fs-dev] [PATCH] f2fs: ensure node page reads complete before f2fs_put_super() finishes

Testing this patch:

Xfstests generic/335, generic/336 sometimes crash with the following message:

F2FS-fs (dm-0): detect filesystem reference count leak during umount, type: 9, count: 1

It appears that sometimes it is possible that f2fs_put_super() is called before
all node page reads are completed.
Adding a call to f2fs_wait_on_all_pages() for F2FS_RD_NODE fixes the problem.
