Sure, that is the point of the patch. We use i as index in the page. It 
is strictly lower than amount of indexes in a page:

	last = READ_ONCE(ploop->nr_bat_entries) - off;
	if (last > PAGE_SIZE / sizeof(map_index_t))
		last = PAGE_SIZE / sizeof(map_index_t);

This cycle just iterates over all clusters in metadata page either form 
0 or from 16 in case of page 1.

	i = 0;
	if (!piwb->page_id)
		i = PLOOP_MAP_OFFSET;

Could you explain a bit more where we can go out-of-bound in a new code? 
I do not see this possibility now
