This patch is valid. Can you please submit it through 'git diff' across our latest codebase (master,release-3.0 branch), and mail it to glusterfs.com ?? that way our patchwork integration sees it. (patches.gluster.com)

Please look on struct (from inode.h) and consider what happends when we are trying to read union fields alternatively (like in inode.c line: 285, 1370):

struct _inode_ctx {
        union {
                uint64_t    key;            // <--- alwyas 64 bits length
                xlator_t   *xl_key;         // <--- 64 or 32 bits length
        };
        union {
                uint64_t    value1;
                void       *ptr1;
        };
        union {
                uint64_t    value2;
                void       *ptr2;
        };
};

On 64 bits platforms all works fine while the length of union's filed are equal.
On 32 bits little endian (PC) platforms it still works.
On 32 bits big endian platforms it crashes.

PATCH: http://patches.gluster.com/patch/3544 in master (Handle a crash in inode.c on 32 bit, big endian platform)

Applied the patch, should fix the issues..
