ABI docs?  

Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-kernel-mm-memory-tiers

A few trivial comments inline.

If you are going to use fixed size, keep it going.
u16 (u8 as per below comment probably makes more sense)

For this one

	guard(mutex)(&memory_tier_lock);
	return sysfs_emit()...

would perhaps be slightly nicer
 (see below)

Why u16?  Max is 100.  I'd not mind if you just put it in an
unsigned int, but seems odd to chose a specific size and
pick one that is twice as big as needed!

You could play with the new cleanup.h	 toys though it doesn't save a lot here.

	scoped_guard(mutex)(&memory_tier_lock)
		tier->interleave_weight = value;
