Its type must be a <a href="#Type_definitions">defined</a> type <code>T</code> or a
pointer to a defined type <code>T</code>, possibly followed by a list of type parameter
names <code>[P1, P2, …]</code> enclosed in square brackets.
<code>T</code> is called the receiver <i>base type</i>. A receiver base type cannot be
a pointer or interface type and it must be defined in the same package as the method.

* Till this release, iscsi plugin was waiting 10 seconds for a path to appear in the device list. However this timeout is not enough or less than default device discovery timeout in most of the systems which cause certain device to be not accounted for the volume. This timeout has been lifted to 30seconds from this release and it should help to avoid mount issues due to device discovery.

* Fix issue where on re-registration of device plugin, `allocatable` was not getting updated. This issue makes devices invisible to the Kubelet if device plugin restarts. Only work-around, if this fix is not there, is to restart the kubelet and then start device plugin.

- DRA: Device taints enable DRA drivers or admins to mark device as unusable, which prevents allocating them. Pods may also get evicted at runtime if a device becomes unusable, depending on the severity of the taint and whether the claim tolerates the taint.

- A new kubelet command line option, `--reserved-cpus`, is introduced to explicitly define the CPU list that will be reserved for system. For example, if `--reserved-cpus=0,1,2,3` is specified, then cpu 0,1,2,3 will be reserved for the system.  On a system with 24 CPUs, the user may specify `isolcpus=4-23` for the kernel option and use...

- Scheduler: Add DefaultBinder plugin ([#87430](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/87430), [@alculquicondor](https://github.com/alculquicondor)) [SIG Scheduling and Testing]

* Do not consider master instance zones for dynamic volume creation ([#41702](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/41702), [@justinsb](https://github.com/justinsb))
* Fix AWS device allocator to only use valid device names ([#41455](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/41455), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied))

- Kubeadm: relax the validation of kubeconfig server URLs. Allow the user to define custom kubeconfig server URLs without erroring out during validation of existing kubeconfig files (e.g. when using external CA mode).

* Fixes issue with cleaning up stale NFS subpath mounts ([#71804](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/71804), [@msau42](https://github.com/msau42))
* Fix device mountable volume names in DSW to prevent races in device mountable plugin, e.g. local. ([#71509](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/71509), [@cofyc](https://github.com/cofyc))
