Bug 2166979

Yeah, I think we need a bit more info. domain XML, steps to reproduce and logs would be a great start.

https://libvirt.org/kbase/debuglogs.html

I can not reproduce with:
libvirt-9.0.0-5.el9.x86_64
qemu-kvm-7.2.0-8.el9.x86_64
kernel-5.14.0-252.el9.x86_64

# virsh start avocado-vt-vm1 
Domain 'avocado-vt-vm1' started

# virsh dumpxml avocado-vt-vm1 |grep /interface -B 11
    <interface type='hostdev' managed='yes'>
      <mac address='fa:16:3e:3c:88:c1'/>
      <driver name='vfio'/>
      <source>
        <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x3b' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/>
      </source>
      <vlan>
        <tag id='2000'/>

    </interface>

1. Starting guest with hostdev interface, source address and vlan settings has been automated and always pass in our auto job:

<interface managed="yes" type="hostdev">
      <mac address="9a:e8:93:1b:5a:4a" />

        <address bus="0x3b" domain="0x0000" function="0x0" slot="0x10" type="pci" />

      <vlan>
        <tag id="42" />
      </vlan>
      <alias name="ua-89cbe690-6c6c-4f2f-adac-5826fe52ea74" />
      <address bus="0x01" domain="0x0000" function="0x0" slot="0x00" type="pci" />

2. Even with specified disk operations, vfio is not affected:
# mkdir /images
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/images/disk2.img bs=1M count=6104
# mkfs.ext4 /images/disk2.img
  <devices>
    <emulator>/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm</emulator>
    <disk type="file" device="disk">
    <driver name="qemu" type="raw"/>
    <source file="/images/disk2.img"/>
    <target dev="vda" bus="virtio"/>
    </disk>
...
        <interface type='hostdev' managed='yes'>
      <mac address='fa:16:3e:3c:88:c1'/>
      <driver name='vfio'/>
      <source>
        <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x3b' slot='0x02' function='0x0'/>
      </source>
      <vlan>
        <tag id='2000'/>
      </vlan>
      <alias name='hostdev0'/>
    </interface>

On rhel9.2 host, we use default settings as:
# mount|grep hugepage
hugetlbfs on /dev/hugepages type hugetlbfs (rw,relatime,seclabel,pagesize=2M)

#  ll -d -Z /dev/hugepages
drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root system_u:object_r:hugetlbfs_t:s0 0 Feb 15 22:49 /dev/hugepages


On OSP, it may be:
[4:40 PM] [root@compute-0 qemu]#  ll -d -Z /dev/hugepages
drwxrwxr-x. 3 root hugetlbfs system_u:object_r:hugetlbfs_t:s0 0 Feb 16 07:33 /dev/hugepages


I'm not sure how OSP did this difference now.
