- Publishing kube-proxy metrics for Windows kernel-mode ([#106581](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/106581), [@knabben](https://github.com/knabben))

  qualified domain name (FQDN) of a Pod is set as hostname of its containers. 
  In Linux containers, this means setting the FQDN in the hostname field of the 
  kernel (the nodename field of struct utsname).  In Windows containers, this

- cri-api: Implemented KEP-3857: Recursive Read-only (RRO) mounts.

- `kube-proxy`: Added an option/flag for configuring the `nf_conntrack_tcp_be_liberal` sysctl (in the kernel's netfilter conntrack subsystem).  When enabled, `kube-proxy` will not install the `DROP` rule for invalid conntrack states, which currently breaks users of asymmetric routing.

- kubeadm will now not fail preflight checks when running on >= 5.0 Linux kernel ([#74355](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74355), [@brb](https://github.com/brb))

  * Upgrade Node Problem Detector to v0.4.1. New features added:

    * Add /dev/kmsg support for kernel log parsing. ([#112](https://github.com/kubernetes/node-problem-detector/pull/112), [@euank](https://github.com/euank))

- Clarified the CFS quota as 100ms in the code comments and set the minimum `cpuCFSQuotaPeriod` to 1ms to match Linux kernel expectations. ([#112123](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112123), [@paskal](https://github.com/paskal))
