### Bug or Regression

- ## Changelog
  
  ### General
  - Fix priority expander falling back to a random choice even though there is a higher priority option to choose
  - Clone `kubernetes/kubernetes` in `update-vendor.sh` shallowly, instead of fetching all revisions

- Added new option to the `InterPodAffinity` scheduler plugin to ignore existing
  pods` preferred inter-pod affinities if the incoming pod has no preferred inter-pod
  affinities. This option can be used as an optimization for higher scheduling throughput
  (at the cost of an occasional pod being scheduled non-optimally/violating existing
  pods preferred inter-pod affinities). To enable this scheduler option, set the

    * Add hugepages monitoring support
    * Fix incorrect CPU usage metrics with 4.7 kernel
    * Add tmpfs monitoring support
* Support for Huge pages in empty_dir volume plugin ([#50072](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/50072), [@squall0gd](https://github.com/squall0gd))
    * [Huge pages](https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/vm/hugetlbpage.txt) can now be used with empty dir volume plugin.

### Bug or Regression

- Kube-apiserver: gzip compression switched from level 4 to level 1 to improve large list call latencies in exchange for higher network bandwidth usage (10-50% higher). This increases the headroom before very large unpaged list calls exceed request timeout limits.

- Fixed CEL estimated cost of `replace()` to handle a zero length replacement string correctly.
  Previously this would cause the estimated cost to be higher than it should be. ([#120097](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120097), [@jpbetz](https://github.com/jpbetz)) [SIG API Machinery]
