dax_kmem_range() already returns a memory-block-aligned @range but
IIUC request_mem_region() isn't checking for that. Having said that
the returned @res wouldn't be different from the passed range.start.

Agreed.

Better off would be to keep the old order:
if (rc) {
any_hotremove_failed = true;
dev_err(dev, "%#llx-%#llx cannot be hotremoved until the next reboot\n",
range.start, range.end);
return;
}
release_mem_region(range.start, range_len(&range));
dev_set_drvdata(dev, NULL);
kfree(res_name);
return;

Isn't it what we're doing here?
(The release_mem_region_adjustable() is using the same
dax_kmem-aligned range and there's no split/adjust)
Meaning right now (+ parent marked as !BUSY), and if I am understanding
this correctly:
request_mem_region(range.start, range_len)
__request_region(iomem_res, range.start, range_len) -> alloc @parent
add_memory_driver_managed(parent.start, resource_size(parent))
__request_region(parent.start, resource_size(parent)) -> alloc @child
[...]
remove_memory(range.start, range_len)
request_mem_region_adjustable(range.start, range_len)
__release_region(range.start, range_len) -> remove @child
release_mem_region(range.start, range_len)
__release_region(range.start, range_len) -> doesn't remove @parent because !BUSY?
The add/removal of this relies on !BUSY. But now I am wondering if the parent remaining
unreleased is deliberate even on CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE=y.
