The chan_iax parts of this fix look correct to me.  We should be setting the lagid = -1 during the schedule cb instead of the function scheduled by another thread, other wise we could potentially attempt to remove that schedule id after it is already gone.

My only comment about chan_iax is since the lagid is set to -1 in send_lagrq, then it really doesn't need to get set to -1 again in __send_lagrq.

I do question the changes in sched.h.  Why is it necessary to change the sleep time, and why was it so high to begin with?

When teardown attempts to cancel all scheduled tasks, the scheduler complains and shortly thereafter, the task complains that the callno does not exist.
