Minor nit: I guess the above sleep time depends on some kernel constant,
but it's not obvious to me if the minimum time is mandated by the RFC,
nor how long is such interval.

A comment explaining the rationale behind such sleep will help, and
possibly a loop with smaller minimal wait and periodic checks for the
expected condition up to a significantly higher timeout could make the
test both faster on average and more robust.

Same here.
