Hi Piotr,
there's various control loop based offset correction, look for the PLL
and FLL examples.
There's a feedback loop base class in GNU Radio for monolithic
correction. For the frequency correction estimate feedback, you could
easily use a message bus, that will occasionally inform the upstream
frequency correction block.

Greetings,
Marcus
