Good catch, but I think it should be :
int resp_buftype = CIFS_NO_BUFFER;

Subject: [PATCH v2] smb2: fix uninitialized variable bug in smb2_ioctl_query_info
There is a potential execution path in which variable *resp_buftype*
is passed as an argument to function free_rsp_buf(), in which it is
used in a comparison without being properly initialized previously.
Fix this by initializing variable *resp_buftype* to -1 in order to
avoid unpredictable or unintended results.
Addresses-Coverity-ID: 1473971 ("Uninitialized scalar variable")
Fixes: c5d25bdb2967 ("cifs: add IOCTL for QUERY_INFO passthrough to userspace")
Signed-off-by: Gustavo A. R. Silva <gustavo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Changes in v2:
- Fix Coverity and Fixes tag.
- Update commit log.
