For example, memory tier ID is for the original sysfs interface, not for the new proposed sysfs interface. So I suggest you to implement with the new interface in mind. What do you think about the following design? - Each NUMA node belongs to a memory type, and each memory type corresponds to a "abstract distance", so each NUMA node corresonds to a "distance". For simplicity, we can start with static distances, for example, DRAM (default): 150, PMEM: 250. The distance of each NUMA node can be recorded in a global array, int node_distances[MAX_NUMNODES]; or, just pgdat->distance - Each memory tier corresponds to a range of distance, for example, 0-100, 100-200, 200-300, >300, we can start with static ranges too. - The core API of memory tier could be struct memory_tier *find_create_memory_tier(int distance); it will find the memory tier which covers "distance" in the memory tier list, or create a new memory tier if not found. - kmem_dax driver will setup distance for PMEM NUMA nodes before online them. - When a NUMA node is onlined, we will use find_create_memory_tier() to find or create its memory tier and add the NUMA node into the memory tier. - Or we can add memory type data structure now.
