- CSI Migration: Fixes issue where all volumes with the same inline volume inner spec name were staged in the same path. Migrated inline volumes are now staged at a unique path per unique volume.

Stable

The [CSI Ephemeral Volume](https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/tree/master/keps/sig-storage/596-csi-inline-volumes) feature allows CSI volumes to be specified directly in the pod specification for ephemeral use cases. They can be used to inject arbitrary states, such as configuration, secrets, identity, variables or similar information, directly inside pods using a mounted volume. This was initially introduced in 1.15 as an alpha feature, and it moved to GA. This feature is...

  the newer `apiVersion`. ([#116299](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116299), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))
- `volumes`: `resource.claims` is now cleared for PVC specs during create or update of a pod spec with inline PVC template or of a PVC because it has no effect. ([#115928](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115928), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))

    * The vSphere cloud provider has a cleanup function with a loop,
    * inside of which a write lock was intended to prevent races against
    * VM creation, but the usage of the sync.RWMutex type is incorrect,
    * plus is placed in a defer call so the locking is effectively
    * nonexistent.  This patch adds an anonymous function call inside
    * the loop to correctly handle acquiring the write lock with deferred
