Here is the updated patch. I also added printk_ratelimit() in line with the
rest of the GHES code.

Thanks,

If the firmware indicates in GHES error data entry that the error threshold
has exceeded for a corrected error event, then we try to soft-offline the
page. This could be called in interrupt context, so we queue this up similar
to how we handle memory failure scenarios.

A newline here please. Also, spaces around '+'.

This was borrowed from existing code in ghes_do_proc(), but yes, let me make this change.

This pfn is defined twice, move it up to the beginning of the function.

Ok.

Please run your patches through checkpatch.pl first.

I did run checkpatch.pl, but chose to ignore this warning. ghes.c uses printk_ratelimit() [hence "in line with the rest of the ghes code" in patch description] and I felt using it is better in this scenario given there will be other messages being printed by the rest of the APEI code.
So, rate-limiting these messages globally seems better rather than doing locally using pr_warn_ratelimited()


This requested change will even simplify the code (ontop of your patch):

The rest looks ok to me.

I'm guessing this has been tested by injecting errors...?

Yes, at least partially to ensure this works ;)
