- Fixes the bug in NodeUnschedulable that only happens with QHint enabled, 
  which the scheduler might miss some updates for the Pods rejected by NodeUnschedulable plugin and put the Pods in the queue for a longer time than needed. ([#127427](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127427), [@sanposhiho](https://github.com/sanposhiho)) [SIG Scheduling]
- Fixes the bug in PodTopologySpread that only happens with QHint enabled, 

- Added a new flag `--append-server-path` to `kubectl proxy` that will automatically append the kube context server path to each request. ([#97350](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/97350), [@FabianKramm](https://github.com/FabianKramm))

s3 := append(s2, s0...)            // append a slice              s3 is []int{0, 0, 2, 3, 5, 7, 0, 0}
s4 := append(s3[3:6], s3[2:]...)   // append overlapping slice    s4 is []int{3, 5, 7, 2, 3, 5, 7, 0, 0}

var t []interface{}
t = append(t, 42, 3.1415, "foo")   //                             t is []interface{}{42, 3.1415, "foo"}

var b []byte

- Added `ResourceVersion` as a precondition for delete in order to ensure a delete fails if an unobserved change happens to an object. ([#74040](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74040), [@ajatprabha](https://github.com/ajatprabha))

  
  The user namespace has to be created before running kubelet.
  All the node components such as CRI need to be running in the same user namespace.
  
  When the feature gate is enabled, kubelet ignores errors that happens during setting the following sysctl values: `vm.overcommit_memory`, `vm.panic_on_oom`, `kernel.panic`, `kernel.panic_on_oops`, `kernel.keys.root_maxkeys`, `kernel.keys.root_maxbytes`. (These sysctl values for the host, not for the containers)

* remove vmsizelist call in azure disk GetVolumeLimits which happens in kubelet finally ([#77851](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/77851), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))

  with `scheme: HTTPS` that encounter errors indicating the endpoint is actually
  using HTTP fall back to making the request over HTTP for compatibility with
  previous releases. When this happens, a `LifecycleHTTPFallback` event is recorded
  in the namespace of the pod and a `kubelet_lifecycle_handler_http_fallbacks_total`
  metric in the kubelet is incremented. Cluster administrators can opt out of the

- Fixed data race in `kube-scheduler` when preemption races with a Pod update. ([#116395](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116395), [@alculquicondor](https://github.com/alculquicondor)) [SIG Scheduling]

* Fix pods failing to start when subPath is a dangling symlink from kubelet point of view, which can happen if it is running inside a container ([#48555](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/48555), [@redbaron](https://github.com/redbaron))

  Before this PR, if PreFilter return `Unschedulable`, it may result in an unexpected abortion in the preemption, 
  which shouldn't happen in the default scheduler, but may happen in schedulers with a custom plugin. ([#119779](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/119779), [@sanposhiho](https://github.com/sanposhiho)) [SIG Scheduling]
