If current thread is an OOM victim, schedule_timeout_killable(1) will give other threads (including the OOM reaper kernel thread) CPU time to run, by leaving try_charge() path due to should_force_charge() == true and reaching do_exit() path instead of returning to userspace code doing "for (;;);". Unless the problem is that current thread cannot reach should_force_charge() check, schedule_timeout_killable(1) should work.
