I'm not an expert in crypto internals, so I don't know. I'll send version
3 of this patch and I'd like to ask you or Herbert to fix it.

Yes - I've created crypto_requires_inherited for this purpose.

I was told that the code should be 80-characters wide.

I don't know what do you mean.

Since all callers pass in 'struct crypto_attr_type', a better helper might be:

static inline int crypto_algt_inherited_mask(struct crypto_attr_type *algt)
{
return crypto_requires_off(algt->type, algt->mask,
CRYPTO_ALG_INHERITED_FLAGS);
}

You could use:

inst->alg.base.cra_flags =
(auth_base->cra_flags | enc->base.cra_flags) &
CRYPTO_ALG_INHERITED_FLAGS;

Just a suggestion, it's not a big deal... Your indentation of the continuation
line just seems weird.

I mean that the CRYPTO_ALG_ALLOCATES_MEMORY flag is not handled when the 'mask'
variable is assigned to earlier in this function.

It should use your new helper function, like all the other places in this patch.
