- QueueingHint implementation for NodeAffinity is reverted because we found potential scenarios where events that make Pods schedulable could be missed. ([#122327](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122327), [@sanposhiho](https://github.com/sanposhiho)) [SIG Scheduling]

- Fixed a data race in kubelet image manager that can cause static pod workers to silently stop working. ([#88915](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88915), [@roycaihw](https://github.com/roycaihw)) [SIG Node]

* Do not detach volume if mount in progress ([#71145](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/71145), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied))
* Only use the first IP address got from instance metadata. This is because Azure CNI would set up a list of IP addresses in instance metadata, while only the first one is the Node's IP. ([#71736](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/71736), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer))

### Other notable changes

* CustomResourceDefinitions: OpenAPI v3 validation schemas containing `$ref`references are no longer permitted (valid references could not be constructed previously because property ids were not permitted either). Before upgrading, ensure CRD definitions do not include those `$ref` fields. ([#58438](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58438), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory))

* Fix a potential bug that scheduler preempts unnecessary pods. ([#70898](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/70898), [@Huang-Wei](https://github.com/Huang-Wei))
