- Kubelet: Fix the volume manager didn't check the device mount state in the actual state of the world before marking the volume as detached. It may cause a pod to be stuck in the Terminating state due to the above issue when it was deleted.

to pod configuration should take effect sooner.
  
  A new metric `kubelet_known_pods` has been added at ALPHA stability to report the number of pods a Kubelet is tracking in a number of internal states.  Operators may use the metrics to track an excess of pods in the orphaned state that may not be completing.

- 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. ([#84754](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/84754), [@davidz627](https://github.com/davidz627))

EBS support across the board. If a Volume is “stuck” in the attaching state to a node for too long a unschedulable taint will be applied to the node, so a Kubernetes admin can [take manual steps to correct the error](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ebs-attaching-volume.html). Users are encouraged to ensure they are monitoring for the taint, and should consider automatically terminating instances in this state.

In addition, support for NVMe disks has been added to Kubernetes,...

The implementation is hidden behind feature gate `ImmutableEphemeralVolumes` (currently in Alpha stage).

### Bug or Regression

- Fix missing delete events on informer re-lists to ensure all delete events are correctly emitted and using the latest known object state, so that all event handlers and stores always reflect the actual apiserver state as best as possible ([#115901](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115901), [@odinuge](https://github.com/odinuge)) [SIG API Machinery]

- Promoted the `RelaxedEnvironmentVariableValidation` feature gate to GA and locked it in the enabled state by default. ([#132054](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/132054), [@HirazawaUi](https://github.com/HirazawaUi)) [SIG Apps, Architecture, Node and Testing]
