When broadcasting data to multiple nodes via MHI, using skb_clone()
causes all nodes to receive the same header data. This can result in
packets being discarded by endpoints, leading to lost data.

This issue occurs when a socket is closed, and a QRTR_TYPE_DEL_CLIENT
packet is broadcasted. All nodes receive the same destination node ID,
causing the node connected to the client to discard the packet and
remain unaware of the client's deletion.


I guess this never happens for the SMD/RPMSG transport because the skb is consumed within the context of qrtr_node_enqueue where as MHI queues the skb to be transmitted later.

Does the duplicate destination node ID match the last node in the qrtr_all_nodes list?

Yes, it always matches the last node in the qrtr_all_nodes list.


Thanks for the confirmation, we haven't seen this before since most of our platforms usually only use one MHI qrtr node.

Replace skb_clone() with pskb_copy(), to create a separate copy of
the header for each sk_buff.
