The easiest way to see this log is to replace 'add_work(&nop_work, 1);' 
to 'add_work(&nop_work, 0);'.
Like this:

--- a/usr/iscsi/iscsi_tcp.c
+++ b/usr/iscsi/iscsi_tcp.c
@@ -438,7 +438,7 @@ static int iscsi_tcp_init(void)

         nop_work.func = iscsi_tcp_nop_work_handler;
         nop_work.data = &nop_work;
-       add_work(&nop_work, 1);
+       add_work(&nop_work, 0);

tgtd: work_timer_schedule_evt(69) Failed to write to pipe, Bad file
