- Sometimes, the scheduler incorrectly placed a pod in the "unschedulable" queue instead of the "backoff" queue. This happened when some plugin previously declared the pod as "unschedulable" and then in a later attempt encounters some other error. Scheduling of that pod then got delayed by up to five minutes, after which periodic flushing moved the pod back into the "active" queue.

### Scheduling

- Improved fairness of the scheduling queue by placing pods which are attempted recently behind other pods with the same priority. ([#73700](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/73700), [@denkensk](https://github.com/denkensk))

* Change default value of deleting-pods-burst to 1 ([#27606](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/27606), [@gmarek](https://github.com/gmarek))
* MESOS: fix race condition in contrib/mesos/pkg/queue/delay ([#24916](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/24916), [@jdef](https://github.com/jdef))

- Added `SchedulerPopFromBackoffQ` feature gate that is in beta and enabled by default. Improved scheduling queue behavior by popping pods from the backoffQ when the activeQ is empty. This allows to process potentially schedulable pods ASAP, eliminating a penalty effect of the backoff queue. ([#130772](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130772), [@macsko](https://github.com/macsko)) [SIG Scheduling and Testing]

    - `scheduler_async_api_call_duration_seconds`: histogram of API call execution duration by call type and result
    - `scheduler_pending_async_api_calls`: gauge showing current number of pending API calls in the queue. ([#133120](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/133120), [@utam0k](https://github.com/utam0k)) [SIG Release and Scheduling]

### **Instrumentation**

#### **Audit**

*   Adjust batching audit webhook default parameters: increase queue size, batch size, and initial backoff. Add throttling to the batching audit webhook. Default rate limit is 10 QPS. ([#53417](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53417),[ @crassirostris](https://github.com/crassirostris))

- Added a `Processing` condition for the `workqueue` API.
  Changed `Shutdown` for the `workqueue` API to wait until the work queue finishes processing all in-flight items. ([#101928](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101928), [@alexanderConstantinescu](https://github.com/alexanderConstantinescu))

- Refactor scheduler's framework permit API. ([#83756](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83756), [@hex108](https://github.com/hex108))
- Add incoming pods metrics to scheduler queue. ([#83577](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83577), [@liu-cong](https://github.com/liu-cong))
