You could always do:

while(whatever)
{
set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE);
schedule_timeout(0);
if(signal_pending(current))
break; // Or do something else
}
set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING); // Probably redundant

You could also set a specific HZ for the timeout, and count
them for a "never happened" timeout.
