happened enough then eventually the connection would stall.

 *  Fix: Acknowledge and apply inbound HTTP/2 settings atomically. Previously we had a race where we
    could use new flow control capacity before acknowledging it, causing strict HTTP/2 servers to
    fail the call.

 *  Fix: Recover gracefully when a coalesced connection immediately goes unhealthy.

      monitor.enter();
      try {
        if (!transitioned) {
          // nothing has transitioned since construction, good.

        } else {
          // This should be an extremely rare race condition.

- Fixed a race condition on API server startup ensuring previously created webhook configurations are effective before the first write request is admitted. ([#95783](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/95783), [@roycaihw](https://github.com/roycaihw)) [SIG API Machinery]

some of the other birds tittered audibly.

  `What I was going to say,' said the Dodo in an offended tone,

  `What IS a Caucus-race?' said Alice; not that she wanted much
to know, but the Dodo had paused as if it thought that SOMEBODY
ought to speak, and no one else seemed inclined to say anything.

- Fixed a panic in `kubectl api-resources` that occurred when the Discovery Client failed. ([#134833](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/134833), [@rikatz](https://github.com/rikatz))

   * create a directory, not a regular file. A common pitfall is to call {@code createTempFile},
   * delete the file and create a directory in its place, but this leads a race condition which can
   * be exploited to create security vulnerabilities, especially when executable files are to be
   * written into the directory.

* Fix race causing apiserver crashes during etcd healthchecking ([#60069](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/60069), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t))
