RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Does the problem still happens if you create an ice.pkg link to the ice-1.3.16.0.pkg.xz file? I'm trying to determine if this is a simple symlink issue or if it's another one. If it doesn't work, please try to uncompress the ice-1.3.16.0.pkg.xz file to ice-1.3.16.0.pkg and recreate the ice.pkg link to point to it.

Need to unxz ice-1.3.16.0.pkg.xz and make the soft link --- The way Rhel-8 is doing.

The same issue still there under 5.14.0-0.rc2.23.el9.x86_64:

2021-07-27T02:48:41.862Z|00305|dpdk|ERR|ice_load_pkg(): failed to open file: /lib/firmware/intel/ice/ddp/ice.pkg

Don't know why the bug is so hard to fix --- look at Rhel 8 please.

It appears the problem here is that dpdk does not have support for loading compressed firmware files.
The message above seems to come from dpdk. I was not able to find any reason in that the kernel would
not be able to load the compressed file through the symlink. I did some search and found this:
https://inbox.dpdk.org/dev/CAJFAV8wznKKERCGqW0YmD-8=UtGXX6P=MU55Q68uVXR6FLmZgQ@mail.gmail.com/T/

Seems work is under way to make dpdk able to load compressed files. Thus there is nothing to change
in linux-firmware here. I'm moving this bug to dpdk component.
