Hi Liming and Mike,

This PR https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/pull/11086
addresses a crash for the Linux shim v16 on debug
builds. When DebugClearMemory is set, DXE Core will
currently attempt to write to all freed pages, even
if they are not writeable. This patch ensures that
DXE Core will change the memory attributes of
the free pages before writing to them, or will
not write to them if it fails to.

Without this, users of shim v16 will experience
failures when using builds of edk2 that have
DebugClearMemory set when loading certain
Linux distributions. Please consider merging
this for edk2-stable202505.

Thanks,
Oliver
