- A pod that the Kubelet rejects was still considered as being accepted for a brief period of time after rejection, which might cause some pods to be rejected briefly that could fit on the node.  A pod that is still terminating (but has status indicating it has failed) may also still be consuming resources and so should also be considered. ([#104817](https:/...

- Added `kubelet` stress test for pod cleanup when rejection due to `VolumeAttachmentLimitExceeded`. ([#133357](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/133357), [@torredil](https://github.com/torredil)) [SIG Node and Storage]

* kubelet: resolved hang/timeout issues when running large numbers of pods with unique configmap/secret references by reverting to 1.11 configmap/secret lookup behavior ([#74755](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74755), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

### Bug or Regression

- Avoid GCE API calls when initializing GCE CloudProvider for Kubelets.
  Avoid unnecessary GCE API calls when adding IP alises or reflecting them in Node object in GCE cloud provider. ([#96863](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96863), [@tosi3k](https://github.com/tosi3k)) [SIG Apps, Cloud Provider and Network]

* **[beta]** Added support for mount options in persistent volumes.
* **[alpha]** All in one volume proposal - a new volume driver capable of projecting secrets, configmaps, and downward API items into the same directory.

...before this change it would raise an error when resetting the context variable, because the `contextvars` context was different, because of the way it was implemented.
