Keep the number of messages dropped since the last report on the target and send it to the receiver as soon as a message gets through again:
netconsole: 45 messages dropped by rate limit netconsole formats that record itself rather than calling printk(), which would feed the console it is currently servicing. Nothing here has a printk sequence number, so the extended header carries a zero. The timestamp comes from local_clock(), the same clock printk stamps its records with, but it is taken when the notice goes out rather than when the message was logged. It can therefore read a few microseconds later than the message it precedes. The notice rides on the next message the bucket lets through, so a target that goes quiet right after a burst of drops only reports them once the host logs again, and a target with ratelimit_burst set to zero never reports at all.
