  Kubernetes was previously detecting that the image filesystem was split, even when that was not really the case ([#128344](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/128344), [@kannon92](https://github.com/kannon92)) [SIG Node]
- Fixed an issue in the kubelet that showed when writeable layers and read-only layers were at different paths within the same mount.

* Add --request-timeout to kube-apiserver to make global request timeout configurable. ([#51415](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51415), [@jpbetz](https://github.com/jpbetz))

### API Change

- 1. PodAffinityTerm includes a namespaceSelector field to allow selecting eligible namespaces based on their labels. 

    * - Update debian-iptables image for CVEs.
    * - Change chain name to IP-MASQ to be compatible with the
    * pre-injected masquerade rules.

### Bug or Regression

- Avoid GCE API calls when initializing GCE CloudProvider for Kubelets.
  Avoid unnecessary GCE API calls when adding IP alises or reflecting them in Node object in GCE cloud provider. ([#96864](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96864), [@tosi3k](https://github.com/tosi3k)) [SIG Apps, Cloud Provider and Network]
