How to kill an IOKit thread?

I'm using an IOKit thread in my kext. The thread usually blocks in a system call.

From my main workloop, I want to terminate the thread on certain conditions. There is an explanation on how to do so in IMX:Kernel Programming.

thread_terminate(getact_thread(thread_t thread)); Only problem: I can't seem to find the function getact_thread(). Any clues? How do I get rid of the thread?
