Ok.

Good!!!

Hmm..
The space ids on 64-bit Linux are limited to (see arch/parisc/mm/init.c):
#define NR_SPACE_IDS 262144
and SID == 0 can't happen for userspace (it's blocked in the space_id[] bitmap).
So, I think this part was ok.

In tlb_lock() we only lock for non-kernel SIDs (!=0),
but now you unlock unconditionally.

Ok.

I wonder if the stall is still fixed if you omit your patch to  pa_tlb_lock().

Thanks for your work on this!!!
