- Fix: the volume is not detached after the pod and PVC objects are deleted ([#117236](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117236), [@cvvz](https://github.com/cvvz)) [SIG Storage]
- Fixed a memory leak in the Kubernetes API server that occurs during APIService processing. ([#117310](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/117310), [@enj](https://github.com/enj)) [SIG API Machinery]

  Burstable QoS pods. For Best-Effort/Guaranteed QoS pods, swap would be disabled.
  
  Containers with memory requests equal to their memory limits also won't have
  swap access, and it is a way to opt-out of swap for a single container.
  
  The formula for the swap limit for Burstable QoS pods is:
  `(<memory-request>/<node-memory-capacity>)*<node-swap-capacity>`.
  

* Fix a scalability issue where high rates of event writes degraded etcd performance. ([#64539](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/64539), [@ccding](https://github.com/ccding))
* fixes a memory leak in the kube-controller-manager observed when large numbers of pods with tolerations are created/deleted ([#65339](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65339), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

- Added feature gate `MutatingAdmissionPolicy` for enabling mutation policy in admission chain. ([#123425](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123425), [@cici37](https://github.com/cici37))
- Added kubelet metrics to track the memory manager allocation and pinning. ([#121778](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121778), [@Tal-or](https://github.com/Tal-or))
