The default value is described in the manual.
And how about this one?

+The special I/O requests from aufs include a part of copy-up, lookup,
+directory handling, pseudo-link and xino file operations.
+For example, Unix filesystems allow you to rmdir(2) which has no write
+permission bit, if its parent directory has write permission bit. In aufs, the
+removing direcoty may or may not have whiteout or 'dir opaque' mark as its
+child. And aufs needs to unlink(2) them before rmdir(2).
+Therefore aufs delegates the actual unlink(2) and rmdir(2) to another kernel
+thread which has been created already and has a superuser privilege.
