- Kubelet: fixes a bug in the HostPort dockershim implementation that caused the conformance test "HostPort validates that there is no conflict between pods with same hostPort but different hostIP and protocol" to fail. ([#98755](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/98755), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea)) [SIG Cloud Provider, Network and Node]

* Fix a bug with binding mount directories and files using flexVolumes ([#49118](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/49118), [@adelton](https://github.com/adelton))
* PodPreset is not injected if conflict occurs while applying PodPresets to a Pod. ([#47864](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/47864), [@droot](https://github.com/droot))

### Bug or Regression

- A bug was fixed where a job sync was not retried in case of a transient ResourceQuota conflict. ([#111026](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/111026), [@alculquicondor](https://github.com/alculquicondor))

- If a conflict occurs when creating an object with `generateName`, the server now returns an "AlreadyExists" error with a retry option. ([#104699](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/104699), [@vincepri](https://github.com/vincepri))

- `dra`: the scheduler plugin now avoids additional scheduling attempts in some cases by falling back to SSA after a conflict. ([#120534](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120534), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))
