* Changed default scsi controller type in vSphere Cloud Provider ([#38426](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/38426), [@abrarshivani](https://github.com/abrarshivani))
* Fixes API compatibility issue with empty lists incorrectly returning a null `items` field instead of an empty array. ([#39834](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/39834), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

    inappropriate.

 *  New: `HttpUrl.get(String)` is an alternative to `HttpUrl.parse(String)` that throws an exception
    when the URL is malformed instead of returning null. Use this to avoid checking for null in
    situations where the input is known to be well-formed. We've also added `MediaType.get(String)`
    which is an exception-throwing alternative to `MediaType.parse(String)`.

* Fix incorrectly propagated ResourceVersion in ListRequests returning 0 items. ([#64150](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/64150), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t))

* Protobuf serialization does not distinguish between `[]` and `null`. ([#45294](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/45294), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

- Kube-apiserver: fixed a bug returning inconsistent results from list requests which set a field or label selector and set a paging limit ([#94002](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/94002), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t)) [SIG API Machinery]

to normal operation.

Backups are always a good precaution, particularly around upgrades, but this
upgrade has multiple known issues where the only remedy is to restore from
backup.

* Filter out non-RestartAlways mirror pod in restart test. ([#37203](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/37203), [@Random-Liu](https://github.com/Random-Liu))
* Validate volume spec before returning azure mounter ([#37018](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/37018), [@rootfs](https://github.com/rootfs))

- The Usage and VolumeCondition are both optional in the response and if CSIVolumeHealth feature gate is enabled kubelet needs to consider returning metrics if either one is set. ([#127021](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127021), [@Madhu-1](https://github.com/Madhu-1)) [SIG Storage]
