- Added apiserver.latency.k8s.io/apf-queue-wait annotation to the audit log
  to record the time spent waiting in APF queue. ([#123919](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123919), [@hakuna-matatah](https://github.com/hakuna-matatah))

- Stopped expanding the volume on the node if controller-side expansion was already completed. ([#131868](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/131868), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied))
- Stopped logging error events when waiting for expansion on the kubelet. ([#131408](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/131408), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied))

* Fixed issue 63608, which is that under rare circumstances the ResourceQuota admission controller could lose track of an request in progress and time out after waiting 10 seconds for a decision to be made. ([#64598](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/64598), [@MikeSpreitzer](https://github.com/MikeSpreitzer))

  
    - Traffic to a service IP now starts getting rejected (as opposed to
      merely dropped) as soon as there are no longer any *usable*
      endpoints, rather than waiting until all of the terminating
      endpoints have terminated even when those terminating endpoints
      were not being used.
  
    - Chains for endpoints that won't be used are no longer output to

- In the `wait.PollUntilContextTimeout` function, if `immediate` is true, the condition will now be invoked before waiting, guaranteeing that the condition is invoked at least once and then wait a interval before executing again.

### Refactors

- In `client-go` `SharedInformerFactory` will now support waiting for goroutines during shutdown.
   ([#112200](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112200), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly))

- Kubelet: improve the performance when waiting for a synchronization of the node list with the kube-apiserver ([#99336](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99336), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123)) [SIG Node]

- Do not expand volume on the node, if controller expansion is finished ([#131987](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/131987), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied)) [SIG Storage]
- Do not log error event when waiting for expansion on the kubelet ([#132098](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/132098), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied)) [SIG Storage]

* fluentd will tolerate all NoExecute Taints when run in gcp configuration. ([#45715](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/45715), [@gmarek](https://github.com/gmarek))
* Fix [Deployments with Recreate strategy not waiting for Pod termination](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/27362). ([#45639](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/45639), [@ChipmunkV](https://github.com/ChipmunkV))
