The nodes= arg instructs the kernel to only scan the given nodes for
demotion. For example use cases, consider a 3 tier memory system:
nodes 0,1 -> top tier
nodes 2,3 -> second tier
nodes 4,5 -> third tier
echo "1m nodes=2,3" > memory.demote
This instructs the kernel to attempt to demote 1m memory in the second tier
to the third, which can be desirable according to the userspace policy
if the second tier is filling up and there is available memory on the
third tier.
echo "1m" > memory.demote
Instructs the kernel to attempt to demote 1m of memory (regardless of
which tier the memory is currently on).
echo "1m nodes=0,1"
Instructs the kernel to demote memory from the top tier nodes, which can
be desirable according to the userspace policy if there is pressure on
the top tiers.
