c04fc586c (mm: show node to memory section relationship with
symlinks in sysfs) created symlinks from nodes to memory sections, e.g.
/sys/devices/system/node/node1/memory135 -> ../../memory/memory135
If you're examining the memory section though and are wondering what node
it might belong to, you can find it by grovelling around in sysfs, but
it's a little cumbersome.
Add a reverse symlink for each memory section that points back to the
node to which it belongs.

+ When CONFIG_NUMA is enabled, a symbolic link that
+ points to the corresponding NUMA node directory.
+
+ For example, the following symbolic link is created for
+ memory section 9 on node0:
+ /sys/devices/system/memory/memory9/node0 -> ../../node/node0

memory section directory. For example, the following symbolic
link is created for memory section 9 on node0.
/sys/devices/system/node/node0/memory9 -> ../../memory/memory9

NOTE:
These directories/files appear after physical memory hotplug phase.
-If CONFIG_NUMA is enabled the
-/sys/devices/system/memory/memoryXXX memory section
-directories can also be accessed via symbolic links located in
-the /sys/devices/system/node/node* directories. For example:
+If CONFIG_NUMA is enabled the memoryXXX/ directories can also be accessed
+via symbolic links located in the /sys/devices/system/node/node* directories.
+
+For example:
/sys/devices/system/node/node0/memory9 -> ../../memory/memory9
+A backlink will also be created:
+/sys/devices/system/memory/memory9/node0 -> ../../node/node0
