Yes, that would be nice. But quotactl(2) gets a block device as an
argument, needs to translate that to a superblock (user_get_super()) and
only then we could use sb_start_write() to protect from fs freezing - but
we already hold s_umount from user_get_super() so we can't do that due to
lock ordering. That's why handling the freeze protection is so contrived in
quotactl(2). We used to have variant of user_get_super() that guaranteed
returning thawed superblock but Christoph didn't like it and only quota
code was using it so stuff got opencoded in the quota code instead (see
commit 60b498852bf2 ("fs: remove get_super_thawed and
get_super_exclusive_thawed").
