RELEASE_MEM_REGION_A(9)	      Hardware Interfaces      RELEASE_MEM_REGION_A(9)

NAME
       release_mem_region_adjustable - release a previously reserved memory
       region

SYNOPSIS
       int release_mem_region_adjustable(struct resource * parent,
					 resource_size_t start,
					 resource_size_t size);

ARGUMENTS
       parent
	   parent resource descriptor

       start
	   resource start address

       size
	   resource region size

DESCRIPTION
       This interface is intended for memory hot-delete. The requested region
       is released from a currently busy memory resource. The requested region
       must either match exactly or fit into a single busy resource entry. In
       the latter case, the remaining resource is adjusted accordingly.
       Existing children of the busy memory resource must be immutable in the
       request.

NOTE
       - Additional release conditions, such as overlapping region, can be
       supported after they are confirmed as valid cases. - When a busy memory
       resource gets split into two entries, the code assumes that all
       children remain in the lower address entry for simplicity. Enhance this
       logic when necessary.
