+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.

+Contact:	Linux memory management mailing list <linux-mm@kvack.org>
+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

+Date:		June 2022
+Contact:	Linux memory management mailing list <linux-mm@kvack.org>
+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.
+

+What:		/sys/devices/system/memtier/memtierN/nodelist
+Date:		June 2022
+Contact:	Linux memory management mailing list <linux-mm@kvack.org>
+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@kvack.org>
+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.
