This has come up previously. Unfortunately, it isn't that simple. The AVC has no knowledge of the policy logic. It only knows that a particular permission for a particular (SID, SID, class) triple wasn't set in the allowed access vector cached from the security server. In the common case where the access vector is already in the cache due to a prior check on the same (SID, SID, class) triple, the security server is not involved at all in the permission check processing.
