- 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))

## Dependencies

### Added
_Nothing has changed._

- Fixed the disruption controller's PDB status synchronization to maintain all PDB conditions during an update. ([#122056](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/122056), [@dhenkel92](https://github.com/dhenkel92)) [SIG Apps]

and calls to the built-in functions
<a href="#Length_and_capacity"><code>cap</code></a> and
<a href="#Length_and_capacity"><code>len</code></a>
by any number of goroutines without further synchronization.
Channels act as first-in-first-out queues.
For example, if one goroutine sends values on a channel
and a second goroutine receives them, the values are
received in the order sent.

- Fix clearing of rate-limiter for the queue of checks for cleaning stale pod disruption conditions. 
  The bug could result in the PDB synchronization updates firing too often or the pod disruption cleanups taking too long to happen. ([#114780](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114780), [@mimowo](https://github.com/mimowo)) [SIG Apps]
