### API Change

- When updating a CRD, per-expression cost limit check are now skipped for `x-kubernetes-validations` rules of versions that are not mutated. ([#121460](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121460), [@jiahuif](https://github.com/jiahuif))

	allNames := sets.Set[string]{}
	allCreatedPVCs := sets.Set[string]{}
	// Determine which PVCs will be created for this pod. We need
	// the exact name of the pod for this. Without it, this sanity
	// check has to be skipped.
	if podMeta != nil && podMeta.Name != "" {
		for _, vol := range volumes {
			if vol.VolumeSource.Ephemeral != nil {
				allCreatedPVCs.Insert(podMeta.Name + "-" + vol.Name)
			}
		}
	}

are evaluated left-to-right and top-to-bottom; the first one that equals the
switch expression
triggers execution of the statements of the associated case;
the other cases are skipped.
If no case matches and there is a "default" case,
its statements are executed.
There can be at most one default case and it may appear anywhere in the
"switch" statement.

to not return an error when the specified target can be detected as not a mount point. On Linux, the behavior of detecting a mount point depends on `umount` command is validated when the mounter is created. Additionally, mount point checks will be skipped in CleanupMountPoint/CleanupMountWithForce if the mounter's Unmount having the changed behavior of not returning error when target is not a mount point.

	PodDNSSearchNamespaces []string `protobuf:"bytes,43,rep,name=podDNSSearchNamespaces,proto3" json:"podDNSSearchNamespaces,omitempty"`
	// Controls whether the creation of the sidecar injector ConfigMap should be skipped.
	// Defaults to false. When set to true, the sidecar injector ConfigMap will not be created.
