- [migration phase 1] PodMatchNodeSelector/NodAffinity as filter plugin ([#83660](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83660), [@wgliang](https://github.com/wgliang))
- Add more tracing steps in generic_scheduler ([#83539](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83539), [@wgliang](https://github.com/wgliang))

In v1.9 SIG AWS has improved stability of 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.

The `wait.NewExponentialBackoffManager` and `wait.NewJitteringBackoffManager` functions have been marked as deprecated.  Callers should switch to using the `Backoff{...}.DelayWithReset(clock, resetInterval)` method and must set the `Steps` field when using `Factor`. As a short term change, callers may use the `Timer()` method on the `BackoffManager` until the backoff managers are deprecated and removed. Please see the godoc of the deprecated functions for examples of how to replace...

- Added enforcement of an upper cost bound for DRA evaluations of CEL. The API server and scheduler now enforce an upper bound on the cost and runtime steps required for evaluating a CEL expression.

- Added `kubelet` stress test for pod cleanup when rejection due to `VolumeAttachmentLimitExceeded`. ([#133357](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/133357), [@torredil](https://github.com/torredil)) [SIG Node and Storage]

<p>
A generic function or type is <i>instantiated</i> by substituting <i>type arguments</i>
for the type parameters [<a href="#Go_1.18">Go 1.18</a>].
Instantiation proceeds in two steps:
</p>

<ol>
<li>
Each type argument is substituted for its corresponding type parameter in the generic
declaration.
This substitution happens across the entire function or type declaration,

- Kube-controller-manager: the dynamic resource controller steps in when a pod got created such that the scheduler ignores it (i.e. spec.nodeName is set) and then takes care of triggering delayed resource claim allocation and/or reserving a claim for the pod. ([#118209](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/118209),...

- Restored `NumPDBViolations` info of nodes, when `HTTPExtender ProcessPreemption`. This info will be used in subsequent filtering steps - `pickOneNodeForPreemption` ([#105853](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/105853), [@caden2016](https://github.com/caden2016))

* Corrected a mistake in the documentation for wait.PollImmediate(...) ([#65026](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65026), [@spew](https://github.com/spew))
* Split 'scheduling_latency_seconds' metric into finer steps (predicate, priority, premption) ([#65306](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65306), [@shyamjvs](https://github.com/shyamjvs))
