Looking at the code in sys/kern/subr_rman.c for rman_manage_region I see
the (mostly) return rv related logic only has ENONMEM (explicit return) and
EBUSY as non-0 possibilities (no other returns). All the rv references and
all the returns are shown below:

        int rv = 0;
. . .
        r = int_alloc_resource(M_NOWAIT);
        if (r == NULL)
                return ENOMEM;
. . .
                /* Check for any overlap with the current region. */
                if (r->r_start <= s->r_end && r->r_end >= s->r_start) {
                        rv = EBUSY;
                        goto out;
                }

                /* Check for any overlap with the next region. */
                t = TAILQ_NEXT(s, r_link);
                if (t && r->r_start <= t->r_end && r->r_end >= t->r_start) {
                        rv = EBUSY;
                        goto out;
                }
. . .
out:
        mtx_unlock(rm->rm_mtx);
        return rv;

int_alloc_resource failure would be failure (NULL) from the:

        struct resource_i *r;
 
        r = malloc(sizeof *r, M_RMAN, malloc_flag | M_ZERO);

(associated with the M_NOWAIT argument).

The malloc failure would likely go in a very different direction.



Side note: looks like the EBUSY cases leak what r references.
