Patch series "Improved Memory Tier Creation for CPUless NUMA Nodes", v11. When a memory device, such as CXL1.1 type3 memory, is emulated as normal memory (E820_TYPE_RAM), the memory device is indistinguishable from normal DRAM in terms of memory tiering with the current implementation. The current memory tiering assigns all detected normal memory nodes to the same DRAM tier. This results in normal memory devices with different attributions being unable to be assigned to the correct memory tier, leading to the inability to migrate pages between different types of memory. https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/PH0PR08MB7955E9F08CCB64F23963B5C3A860A@PH0PR08MB7955.namprd08.prod.outlook.com/T/ This patchset automatically resolves the issues. It delays the initialization of memory tiers for CPUless NUMA nodes until they obtain HMAT information and after all devices are initialized at boot time, eliminating the need for user intervention. If no HMAT is specified, it falls back to using `default_dram_type`. Example usecase: We have CXL memory on the host, and we create VMs with a new system memory device backed by host CXL memory. We inject CXL memory performance attributes through QEMU, and the guest now sees memory nodes with performance attributes in HMAT. With this change, we enable the guest kernel to construct the correct memory tiering for the memory nodes. This patch (of 2): Since different memory devices require finding, allocating, and putting memory types, these common steps are abstracted in this patch, enhancing the scalability and conciseness of the code.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
