### API Change

- Fixed a bug where CEL expressions in CRD validation rules would incorrectly compute a high estimated cost for functions that return strings, lists or maps.

    * 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

* change default azure file/dir mode to 0755 ([#56551](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/56551), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))
* fix incorrect error info when creating an azure file PVC failed ([#56550](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/56550), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))

- Fixed an issue with garbage collection failing to clean up namespaced children of an object also referenced incorrectly by cluster-scoped children ([#98068](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98068), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG API Machinery and Apps]

* Allow kubernetes components to react to SIGTERM signal and shutdown gracefully. ([#57756](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/57756), [@mborsz](https://github.com/mborsz))
* fix incorrect error info when creating an azure file PVC failed ([#56550](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/56550), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))

- Fix calling AttachDisk on a previously attached EBS volume ([#93567](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/93567), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied)) [SIG Cloud Provider, Storage and Testing]
- Fix: incorrect max azure disk max count ([#92331](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/92331), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx)) [SIG Cloud Provider and Storage]

* Resolves spurious rollouts of workload controllers when upgrading the API server due to incorrect defaulting of an alpha procMount field in pods ([#78882](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/78882), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

- Resolves non-deterministic behavior of the garbage collection controller when ownerReferences with incorrect data are encountered. Events with a reason of `OwnerRefInvalidNamespace` are recorded when namespace mismatches between child and owner objects are detected. The [kubectl-check-ownerreferences](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubectl-check-ownerreferences)...

- Fix indexer bug that resulted in incorrect index updates if number of index values for a given object was changing during update ([#109137](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/109137), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t)) [SIG API Machinery]
