In short, it specifies exact discrimination of the syscall which
affects parsing of the rest of the arguments. For some syscalls
(ioctl/setsockopt/sendmsg) kernel has hundreds of different
discriminations with radically different arguments.
Now if you are asking why the discrimination is LOOP_CHANGE_FD, but
the actual command is LOOP_SET_FD, that's because this is a fuzzer,
it's sole purpose is to mess things in unexpected ways.

raw.log is not a _program_, it's hundreds of separate programs that
were executed before the crash. It's also very compressed
representation as compared to equivalent C programs. For example for
this program:

mmap(&(0x7f0000000000/0xfff000)=nil, 0xfff000, 0x3, 0x32,
0xffffffffffffffff, 0x0)
r0 = socket$nl_generic(0x10, 0x3, 0x10)
sendmsg$nl_generic(r0,
&(0x7f0000b3e000-0x38)={&(0x7f0000d4a000-0xc)={0x10, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0},
0xc, &(0x7f0000007000)={&(0x7f0000f7c000-0x15c)={0x24, 0x1c, 0x109,
0xffffffffffffffff, 0xffffffffffffffff, {0x4, 0x0, 0x0},
[@nested={0x10, 0x9, [@typed={0xc, 0x0, @u32=0x0}]}]}, 0x24}, 0x1,
0x0, 0x0, 0x0}, 0x0)

you can get up to this amount of C code:
https://gist.githubusercontent.com/dvyukov/eeaeb4e4ac45c3a251f72098c9295bf9/raw/700cd583507eca90711ba11b42e406f317553371/gistfile1.txt

that is, 700 lines of C source for 3 line program. So instead of a 1MB
file that will be 100MB, and then it probably should be a gzip archive
with hundreds of separate C files. There are people on this list
complaining even about 200K of attachments. I don't see that this will
be better and well accepted.
