SubjectRe: [PATCH v2] smb2: fix uninitialized variable bug in smb2_ioctl_query_info
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.

Fixes: c5d25bdb2967 ("cifs: add IOCTL for QUERY_INFO passthrough to userspace")
