It simply because it was 0x06 in Andrea's tree. :-)
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/andrea/aa.git/commit/?h=userfault&id=ad0c3bec9897d8c8617ecaeb3110d3bdf884b15c
Andrea introduced _UFFDIO_REMAP first in his original work which took
0x05 (hmm... not really the "very" original, but the one after
Shaohua's work) then _UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT which took 0x06. I'm afraid
there's already userspace programs that have linked with that tree and
the numbers (I believe LLNL and umap is one of them, people may not
start to use it very seriesly but still they can be distributed and
start doing some real work...). I'm using the same number here
considering that it might be good to simply even don't break any of
the experimental programs if it's easy to achieve (for either existing
uffd-wp but also the new remap interface users if there is), after all
these numbers are really adhoc for us. If anyone doesn't like this I
can for sure switch to 0x05 again if that looks cuter.
Thanks,
