- Scheduler changes its logic of calculating `evaluatedNodes` from "contains the number of nodes that filtered out by PreFilterResult and Filter plugins" to "the number of nodes filtered out by Filter plugins only". ([#124735](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124735), [@AxeZhan](https://github.com/AxeZhan))

- When a PreFilterResult filters out certain Nodes, the scheduling framework now categorizes them as rejected via `UnschedulableAndUnresolvable`. Consequently, these nodes are excluded from the candidates for the preemption process. Additionally, this update corrects...

  It may affect some metrics values related to the `InterPodAffinity` Filter plugin. ([#114889](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114889), [@sanposhiho](https://github.com/sanposhiho))
- Scheduler volumebinding: leveraged `PreFilterResult` to reduce down to only
  eligible node(s) for pod with bound claim(s) to local `PersistentVolume(s)` ([#109877](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/109877), [@yibozhuang](https://github.com/yibozhuang))

- PreFilter extension in the scheduler framework now returns not only status but also PreFilterResult ([#108648](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/108648), [@ahg-g](https://github.com/ahg-g))
