You mean the commit is a functionality fix?  I found the
hackbench.throughput for the test is

v4.5: 1.4e+5
v4.6-rc1~v4.6-rc7: 1.9e+5
v4.6: 1.3e+5
v4.7-rc1: 1.7e+5

So some commit in v4.6-rc1 introduce some issue but improve the score
for the test, which is fixed in v4.6, and some improvement merged by
v4.7-rc1?
