Yeah, it fixes the problem for 2.6.18-rc1.

But doesn't compile for 2.6.17.4:

CC fs/splice.o
fs/splice.c: In function `link_pipe':
fs/splice.c:1378: warning: implicit declaration of function `mutex_lock_nested'
fs/splice.c:1378: error: `I_MUTEX_PARENT' undeclared (first use in this function)
fs/splice.c:1378: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
fs/splice.c:1378: error: for each function it appears in.)
fs/splice.c:1379: error: `I_MUTEX_CHILD' undeclared (first use in this function)
make[1]: ** [fs/splice.o] Erro 1
make: ** [fs] Erro 2

Should we use the first patch for it? It does work too.
