You can exit a GCD thread with something like this.

- (void)invalidateQueue
{
    _isQueueCanceled = YES;
    dispatch_sync(_queue, ^{});
}

- (void)submitWorkToBeDone
{
    dispatch_async(_queue, ^{
        for ( ... ) {
            if (_isQueueCanceled == YES) {
                break;
            } else {
                // do work
            }
        }
    });
}

When invalidateQueue returns the thread has been canceled.
