Cannot create a domain with passt in a user session
Please provide the package NVR for which the bug is seen:
libvirt-10.10.0-10.el9.x86_64
passt-0^20250320.g32f6212-1.el9.x86_64
selinux-policy-38.1.56-1.el9.noarch

How reproducible is this bug?:
100%
Steps to reproduce
- Create a domain with passt as a common user
# su - hhan -c "virt-install --import --disk none -n passt -r 2048 --memorybacking source.type=file,access.mode=shared --network user,backend.type=passt,model.type=virtio --osinfo generic -q"
ERROR internal error: Child process (passt --one-off --socket /home/hhan/.cache/libvirt/qemu/run/passt/3-passt-net0.socket --pid /home/hhan/.cache/libvirt/qemu/run/passt/3-passt-net0-passt.pid) unexpected exit status 1: Failed to bind UNIX domain socket: Permission denied

- Change SELinux to permissive mode. It works:
# setenforce 0
# su - hhan -c "virt-install --import --disk none -n passt -r 2048 --memorybacking source.type=file,access.mode=shared --network user,backend.type=passt,model.type=virtio --osinfo generic -q"
