I am not seeing a warning at line 359 of either v5.13.2 or v5.12.7.

But this one does show this warning in v5.12.17:

	WARN_ON_ONCE(!preempt && rcu_preempt_depth() > 0);

This is in rcu_note_context_switch(), and could be caused by something
like a schedule() within an RCU read-side critical section.  This would
of course be RCU-usage bugs, given that you are not permitted to block
within an RCU read-side critical section.

I suggest checking the functions in the stack trace to see where the
rcu_read_lock() is hiding.  CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING might also be helpful.
