- Fixed an error when trying to expand a volume that does not require node expansion. ([#123055](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123055), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied))
- Fixed an issue calculating total CPU usage reported for Windows nodes. ([#122999](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122999), [@marosset](https://github.com/marosset))

- Fixes an issue calculating total CPU usage reported for Windows nodes ([#122999](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122999), [@marosset](https://github.com/marosset)) [SIG Node and Windows]

- Fixes calculating the requeue time in the cronjob controller, which results in properly handling failed/stuck jobs ([#121540](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121540), [@soltysh](https://github.com/soltysh)) [SIG Apps]

- Omit nil or empty field when calculating container hash value to avoid hash changed. For a new field with a non-nil default value in the container spec, the hash would still get changed. ([#57741](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/57741), [@dixudx](https://github.com/dixudx))...

- Allow Label section in vsphere e2e cloudprovider configuration ([#112478](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112478), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied)) [SIG Storage and Testing]
- Correct the calculating error in podTopologySpread plugin to avoid unexpected scheduling results. ([#112531](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/112531), [@kerthcet](https://github.com/kerthcet)) [SIG Scheduling]

  - Remove redundant log lines and reduce severity around parsing kubeEnv
  - Don't treat nodes created by virtual kubelet as nodes from non-autoscaled node groups
  - Remove redundant logging around calculating node utilization
  - Add configurable `--network` and `--rm` flags for docker in `Makefile`
  - Subtract DaemonSet pods' requests from node allocatable in the denominator while computing node utilization

### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

- Reduce logspam when calculating the container resources on linux ([#132272](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/132272), [@Peac36](https://github.com/Peac36)) [SIG Node]
