Annotated Snippet
What: /sys/devices/virtual/memory_tiering/
Date: August 2022
Contact: Linux memory management mailing list <linux-mm@kvack.org>
Description: A collection of all the memory tiers allocated.
Individual memory tier details are contained in subdirectories
named by the abstract distance of the memory tier.
/sys/devices/virtual/memory_tiering/memory_tierN/
What: /sys/devices/virtual/memory_tiering/memory_tierN/
/sys/devices/virtual/memory_tiering/memory_tierN/nodelist
Date: August 2022
Contact: Linux memory management mailing list <linux-mm@kvack.org>
Description: Directory with details of a specific memory tier
This is the directory containing information about a particular
memory tier, memtierN, where N is derived based on abstract distance.
A smaller value of N implies a higher (faster) memory tier in the
hierarchy.
nodelist: NUMA nodes that are part of this memory tier.Annotation
- Atlas domain: Support Tooling And Documentation / Documentation.
- Implementation status: atlas-only.
Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
