user_path_at handles an empty path, although you'll get EFAULT instead.
Do we care about the -ENODEV here?

The quotactl manpage documents EFAULT as error code for invalid addr or
special argument, so we really should return -EFAULT here.

Existing quotactl gets this wrong as well:

	if (!special) {
		if (cmds == Q_SYNC)
			return quota_sync_all(type);
		return -ENODEV;
	}

Should we fix this or is there userspace code that is confused by a changed
return value?

I'd leave the original quotactl(2) as is. There's no strong reason to risk
breaking some userspace. For the new syscall, I agree we can just
standardize the return value, there ENODEV makes even less sense since
there's no device in that call.

Ok, will do. Who can pick this series up? Anyone else I need to Cc next
round?
