I'm not a huge fan of setting the blocking timeout here. If we are going
to set a timeout it should be when the socket is created. Otherwise this
function has an unexpected side-effect. Another option is to use non
blocking reads with timeout like:

def _recv_careful(s, target, timeout=2):
"""Read exactly target bytes, tolerating short reads"""
data = b''
end = time.monotonic() + timeout
while time.monotonic() < end:
try:
data += s.recv(target - len(data), socket.MSG_DONTWAIT)
if len(data) == target:
return data
except BlockingIOError:
time.sleep(0.001)
raise KsftFailEx(f"short read, got {len(data)} of {target} bytes")


def _req_echo(cfg, s):
"""Ask the peer to echo, and check the reply arrives intact"""
_send_with_ack(cfg, b'data echo\0')
ksft_eq(_recv_careful(s, 5), b'echo\0')

I'm ok with the approach overall. The coverage is sufficient for the
purposes of the series.
