- Scheduler no longer runs the plugin's `Filter` method when its `PreFilter` method returned a Skip status.
  In other words, your `PreFilter`/`Filter` plugin can return a Skip status in `PreFilter` if the plugin does nothing in Filter for that Pod.
  Scheduler skips `NodeAffinity` Filter plugin when `NodeAffinity` Filter plugin has nothing to do with a Pod.

- Add support for CSI spec v0.3.0 for both Cinder and Manilla
- Add 'cascade delete' support for Octavia load balancers to improve performance.
- Add improved load balancer naming.

### SIG-scheduling

SIG Scheduling development efforts have been primarily focused on improving performance and reliability of the scheduler.

* Make volume usage metrics available for Cinder ([#62668](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/62668), [@zetaab](https://github.com/zetaab))

  when the corresponding csi driver was installed:
  - `awsElasticBlockStore` for `ebs.csi.aws.com`
  - `azureDisk` for `disk.csi.azure.com`
  - `gcePersistentDisk` for `pd.csi.storage.googleapis.com`
  - `cinder` for `cinder.csi.openstack.org`
  - `csi`
  However it was still enforced using a limit in CSINode objects. ([#126924](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126924), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory))

- kubeadm no longer dumps backtrace if it fails to remove the running containers on reset. ([#73951](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/73951), [...

- Kubernetes no longer monitors firewalld. On systems using firewalld for firewall
  maintenance, kube-proxy will take slightly longer to recover from disruptive
  firewalld operations that delete kube-proxy's iptables rules.

  As a side effect of these changes, kube-proxy's
  `sync_proxy_rules_last_timestamp_seconds` metric no longer behaves the

- OpenStack Cinder CSI migration is now GA and switched on by default, Cinder CSI driver must be installed on clusters on OpenStack for Cinder volumes to work (has been since v1.21). ([#107462](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/107462), [@dims](https://github.com/dims))

- The scheduler skips the `PodTopologySpread` Filter plugin if no spread constraints.
  It will affect some metrics values related to the `PodTopologySpread` Filter plugin. ([#117683](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117683), [@utam0k](https://github.com/utam0k))
