I ran the following tests on a ThunderX2 system with the patched kernel:
for i in {1..100}; do sudo ipmitool sensor list; done for i in {1..100}; do sudo ipmitool mc info; done
The idea here is to generate a lot of data though the i2c driver, and trigger any instability that might exist. The tests did not expose any issues.
