Early exit from parfor loop?

I am looping over N files in a filesystem looking for M files with a
certain property. Sometimes they are found early and I can exit the
loop, however when using parfor there is no easy way to do this.
E.g. consider this code:
mydir = dir;
N = numel(dir);
myfiles = {}; % store filenames that pass <test>
parfor j = 1:N
if <test>
myfiles{j} = mydir(j);
end
end
The result is a cell array with some non-empty elements. This searches
all N files but if I want it to stop when it finds M=2 files, there
doesn't seem to be a way. This is probably well known behavior, but
I'm posting just in case anyone has a workaround... :)
