Linux kernel cgroups v2 API was declared stable. With some distributions now defaulting to this API, Kubernetes must support it to continue operating on those distributions. cgroups v2 offers several improvements over cgroups v1, for more information see the [cgroups v2](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/architecture/cgroups/) documentation. While cgroups v1 will continue to be supported, this enhancement puts Kubernetes to be ready for eventual deprecation and replacement in favor of v2.

  Until kubeadm supports the userns functionality out of the box, users can continue using the deprecated  `RootlessControlPlane` feature gate, or  opt-in `UserNamespacesSupport` by using kubeadm patches on the static pod manifests.

- Upon receiving a LIST request with an expired continue token, the apiserver now returns a continue token together with the 410 "the from parameter is too old" error. If the client does not care about getting a list from a consistent snapshot, the client can use this token to continue listing from the next key, but the returned chunk will be from the latest snapshot.

cache sync failure. This fix allows the garbage collector to eventually continue garbage collecting other resources if a given resource cannot be listed or watched. Any objects in the unsynced resource type with owner references with `blockOwnerDeletion: true` will not be known to the garbage collector. Use of `blockOwnerDeletion` has always been best-effort and racy on startup and object creation. With this fix, it continues to be best-effort for resources that cannot be synced by the garbage collector...

- the ability to rollback to etcd2 can be preserved by setting the storage media type flag on `kube-apiserver`

  ```

  `application/vnd.kubernetes.protobuf` at a later time.
