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.
