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.

Description of problem:
Boot a guest with nbd tls is very slowly, over 5 to 7 minutes, compares to boot with nbd image only takes less than one minute on the same host.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
qemu-kvm-5.2.0-0.module+el8.4.0+8855+a9e237a9.x86_64
kernel-4.18.0-255.el8.x86_64

2. guest boots successfully after 5-7 minutes. Attach with a boot log. Specially, guest hangs for around 3 minutes just after bootloader selects to boot from rhel8.4 and before it gets the first boot log. 
3. reboot 5 times.



Actual results:
Boot very slowly, sometimes over 7 mins, but no shorter than 5 mins. However, on the same host, 
boot a VM with nbd disk image only takes less than one minute.

Expected results:
Boot a guest should take a shorter time.


Additional info:
run io, looks normal.

Move RHEL-AV bugs to RHEL9. If necessary to resolve in RHEL8, then clone to the current RHEL8 release.
