Not sure if I get you right, but we do not set this flag here. We use it to mask the flags we got from the request, so we pass this flag to the ahash algorithm just if it was set by the original aead request.Indeed you are right. As long as it is only a mask and only used on the sync path it should be OK.
Yes, that's how it is used in both, authenc and authencesn.
