+Description: Interface for tiered memory
+
+ This is the directory containing the information about memory tiers.
+
+ Each memory tier has its own subdirectory.
+
+ The order of memory tiers is determined by their tier ID value.
+ A higher tier ID value means a higher tier. memtier300 is higher
+ memory tier compared to memtier 100.

+What: /sys/devices/system/memtier/default_tier

+Description: Default memory tier
+
+ The default memory tier to which memory would get added via hotplug
+ if the NUMA node is not part of any memory tier
+
+What: /sys/devices/system/memtier/max_tier
+Date: June 2022

+Description: Maximum memory tier ID supported
+
+ The max memory tier device ID we can create. Users can create memory
+ tiers in range [0 - max_tier]

+Description: Directory with details of a specific memory tier
+
+ This is the directory containing the information about a particular
+ memory tier, memtierN, where N is the memtier device ID (e.g. 0, 1).
+
+ The memtier device ID number itself is just an identifier and has no
+ special meaning. Its value relative to other memtiers decides the level
+ of this memtier in the tier hierarchy.

+Description: Memory tier nodelist
+
+
+ When read, list the memory nodes in the specified tier.
+
+What: /sys/devices/system/node/nodeN/memtier
+Date: June 2022
+Contact: Linux memory management mailing list <linux-mm@xxxxxxxxx>
+Description: Memory tier details for node N
+
+ When read, list the device ID of the memory tier that the node belongs
+ to. Its value is empty for a CPU-only NUMA node.
+
+ When written, the kernel moves the node into the specified memory
+ tier if the move is allowed. The tier assignments of all other
+ nodes are not affected.
