- Fixed attaching volumes after detach errors. Now volumes that failed to detach are not treated as attached, Kubernetes will make sure they are fully attached before they can be used by pods. ([#120595](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120595), [@jsafrane](https://github.com/jsafrane)) [SIG Apps and Storage]

* fix vmss dirty cache issue in disk attach/detach on vmss node ([#85158](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/85158), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))
* fix race condition when attach/delete azure disk in same time ([#84917](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/84917), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))

* We change the default attach_detach_controller sync period to 1 minute to reduce the query frequency through cloud provider to check whether volumes are attached or not. ([#41363](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/41363), [@jingxu97](https://github.com/jingxu97))

## Changes to Major Components
### API Server

* fix vmss dirty cache issue in disk attach/detach on vmss node ([#85158](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/85158), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))
* fix race condition when attach/delete azure disk in same time ([#84917](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/84917), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))

### API Change

- Kube-apiserver: Fixes handling of CRD schemas containing literal null values in enums (#104990, @liggitt) [SIG API Machinery, Apps and Network]

### Bug or Regression

- Detach volumes from vSphere nodes not tracked by attach-detach controller (#104910, @gnufied) [SIG Cloud Provider and Storage]
- Fix: consolidate logs for instance not found error (#105364, @nilo19) [SIG Cloud Provider]

* Bug fixes

  * Fixes issue with Flexvolume, introduced in 1.6.0, where drivers without an attacher would fail (node indefinitely waiting for attach). A driver API addition is introduced: drivers that don't implement attach should return attach: false on init. ([#47503](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/47503), [@chakri-nelluri](https://github.com/chakri-nelluri))

- FibreChannel volume plugin may match the wrong device and wrong associated devicemapper parent. This may cause a disaster that pods attach wrong disks. ([#110719](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/110719), [@xakdwch](https://github.com/xakdwch))

- Suspend Job feature graduated to beta. Added the `action` label to Job controller sync metrics `job_sync_total` and `job_sync_duration_seconds`. ([#102022](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/102022), [@adtac](https://github.com/adtac))

* azure: update disk lock logic per vm during attach/detach to allow concurrent updates for different nodes. ([#85115](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/85115), [@aramase](https://github.com/aramase))
* fix vmss dirty cache issue in disk attach/detach on vmss node ([#85158](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/85158), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))

- Improved logging when volume times out waiting for attach/detach. ([#108628](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/108628), [@RomanBednar](https://github.com/RomanBednar))
