the unix socket /var/run/libvirt/lxc/domain.sock is not created under the selinux context which configured by <seclabel>. If we try to connect the domain.sock under the selinux context of domain in virtLXCProcessConnectMonitor,selinux will deny this connect operation. type=AVC msg=audit(1387953696.067:662): avc: denied { connectto } for pid=21206 comm="libvirtd" path="/usr/local/var/run/libvirt/lxc/systemd.sock" scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:svirt_lxc_net_t:s0:c770,c848 tcontext=unconfined_u:system_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=unix_stream_socket fix this problem by creating socket under selinux context of domain.
