node_set_memory_tier_rank+0x63/0x80

blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x68/0x90
memory_notify+0x1b/0x20

add_memory_driver_managed+0x80/0xc0
dev_dax_kmem_probe+0x1af/0x250
dax_bus_probe+0x6e/0xa0
After this the explicit call to node_set_memory_tier_rank(numa_node, MEMORY_RANK_PMEM)
from dev_dax_kmem_probe() finds that the memtier is already set.
> Do you have regular memory also appearing on node1?
No, regular memory is on Node0.
