When libvirt launches QEMU it puts in place a number of strict
security protections. Libvirt will grant access on a per-file
basis to resources on the host that QEMU should be allowed to
access based on the device configuration in the XML.

In your case though you're using command line passthrough:

This is totally opaque to libvirt and so libvirt won't be
granting access to any resources needed by these args. I'm
assuming /dev/udmabuf is needed by the GTK display for GL
support, or something along those lines.

For further information about your options please consult this page:
