Also, since SREF is set on the page, it means that a user process page is modified, and that information will now be lost.
Maybe this should be propagated upwards before removing the user process space?
This should already happen as part of the natural flow, right?  I think the problem is avoided in the natural flow by making sure the user PTP mapping (in Sysmap) isn’t left twisting in the wind when a user PTP is put on the free list.

Hm, you are fast providing patches :-)
And yes, SREF should not be relevant here.

The first two TBIS in your patch are OK.  The last one is not needed since the are followed by a TBIA when referenced :-)
