the value of the receive operation <code>&lt;-ch</code> is the value received
from the channel <code>ch</code>.
The channel direction must permit receive operations,
and the type of the receive operation is the element type of the channel.
The expression blocks until a value is available.
Receiving from a <code>nil</code> channel blocks forever.
A receive operation on a <a href="#Close">closed</a> channel can always proceed

- You can now have different operation names for different storage operations. This still prevents two operations on same volume from happening concurrently but if the operation changes, it resets the exponential backoff.

* Changed core_pattern on COS nodes to be an absolute path. ([#86329](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/86329), [@mml](https://github.com/mml))
* Track mount operations as uncertain if operation fails with non-final error ([#82492](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/82492), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied))

- List operations against the API now return internal server errors instead of partially complete lists when a value cannot be transformed from storage. The updated behavior is consistent with all other operations that require transforming data from storage such as watch and get.

* Time for attach/detach retry operations has been decreased from 10-12s to 2-6s ([#56974](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/56974), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied))

### Auth

* Contexts must be named in kubeconfigs. ([#56769](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/56769), [@dixudx](https://github.com/dixudx))

    * maintenance, kube-proxy will take slightly longer to recover from disruptive
    * firewalld operations that delete kube-proxy's iptables rules.
* Added cloud operation count metrics to azure cloud controller manager. ([#82574](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/82574), [@kkmsft](https://github.com/kkmsft))

    * of DaemonSet Pod already exists, it will be replaced.
    * DaemonSet controller will only perform these operations when creating DaemonSet Pods;
    * and those operations will only modify the Pods of DaemonSet, no changes are made to the
    * `.spec.template` of DaemonSet.

* Use separate client for leader election in scheduler to avoid starving leader election by regular scheduler operations. ([#53793](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53793), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t))

- For volumes that allow attaches across multiple nodes, attach and detach operations across different nodes are now executed in parallel. ([#89240](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/89240), [@verult](https://github.com/verult)) [SIG Apps, Node and Storage]
