### Storage

* Fixes spurious 0-length API responses. ([#72856](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72856), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

- Fixed an issue where mount points could become local without calling `NodePublishVolume` after node rebooting.
   ([#119923](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119923), [@cvvz](https://github.com/cvvz))
- Fixed cleanup of Pod volume mounts when a file was used as a subpath.

- Do not unmount and mount subpath bind mounts during container creation unless bind mount changes ([#105512](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105512), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied)) [SIG Storage]

#### Storage

* [stable] Mount options

  * The ability to specify mount options for volumes is moved from beta to stable.

  * A new `MountOptions` field in the `PersistentVolume` spec is available to specify mount options. This field replaces an annotation.

  * A new `MountOptions` field in the `StorageClass` spec allows configuration of mount options for dynamically provisioned volumes.

* Fixes issue where subpath volume content was deleted during orphaned pod cleanup for Local volumes that are directories (and not mount points) on the root filesystem. ([#72291](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72291), [@msau42](https://github.com/msau42))

*   You can now create Windows mount paths  ([#51240](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51240),[ @andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))
*   Fixed a controller manager crash issue on a manually created k8s cluster. ([#53694](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53694),[ @andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))

- For CSI drivers, kubelet no longer creates the target_path for NodePublishVolume in accordance with the CSI spec. Kubelet also no longer checks if staging and target paths are mounts or corrupted. CSI drivers need to be idempotent and do any necessary mount verification. ([#88759](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88759), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx)) [SIG Storage]

* Fixes issue where subpath volume content was deleted during orphaned pod cleanup for Local volumes that are directories (and not mount points) on the root filesystem. ([#72291](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72291), [@msau42](https://github.com/msau42))

- Faster mount detection for linux kernel 5.10+ using openat2 speeding up pod churn rates. On Kernel versions less 5.10, it will fallback to using the original way of detecting mount points i.e by parsing /proc/mounts.
