### SIG OpenStack

- Fixed cloud-controller-manager crash when using OpenStack provider and PersistentVolume initializing controller   ([#70459](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/70459), [@mvladev](https://github.com/mvladev))

### SIG Release

no <a href="#Variable_declarations">initialization expression</a> or
its initialization expression has no <i>dependencies</i> on uninitialized variables.
Initialization proceeds by repeatedly initializing the next package-level
variable that is earliest in declaration order and ready for initialization,
until there are no variables ready for initialization.

// updateRuntimeUp calls the container runtime status callback, initializing
// the runtime dependent modules when the container runtime first comes up,
// and returns an error if the status check fails.  If the status check is OK,
// update the container runtime uptime in the kubelet runtimeState.

### Bug or Regression

- Fixed a regression since 1.27.0 in scheduler framework when running score plugins. 
  The `skippedScorePlugins` number might be greater than `enabledScorePlugins`, 
  so when initializing a slice the cap(len(skippedScorePlugins) - len(enabledScorePlugins)) is negative, 
  which is not allowed. ([#121666](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121666), [@kerthcet](https://github.com/kerthcet)) [SIG Scheduling]
