Note that this isn’t specific to Go. Reading from stream-like data, be it TCP connections, files or whatever always comes with the risk that not all data is present in the local buffer yet. The vast majority of read operations returns the number of bytes that could be read and you should call them in a loop. Same of write operations actually, if you’re writing to a stream-like object as the write buffers may be smaller than what you’re trying to write.
The actual recommended solution is to just read in a loop until you have everything.
