* Fix kubelet to correctly umounts mount points for glusterfs when transport endpoint is not connected and nfs when there is a stale file handle ([#58660](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58660), [@humblec](https://github.com/humblec))

### Other notable changes

- kubeadm now attempts to detect an installed CRI by its usual domain socket, so that `--cri-socket` can be omitted from the command line if Docker is not used and there is a single CRI installed. ([#69366](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/69366), [@rosti](https://github.com/rosti))

- Fixed dry-run output in kubectl apply --prune ([#69344](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/69344), [@zegl](https://github.com/zegl))
- The kubectl wait command must handle when a watch returns an error vs closing by printing out the error and retrying the watch. ([#69389](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/69389), [@smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton))

* Running `kubectl taint` (alpha in 1.5) against a 1.5 server requires a kubectl version of 1.5
* Running `kubectl create secret` no longer accepts passing multiple values to a single --from-literal flag using comma separation
  * Update command invocations to pass separate --from-literal flags for each value

### RBAC

- Fixed a regression in kube-proxy where it might refuse to start if given
  single-stack IPv6 configuration options on a node that has both IPv4 and
  IPv6 IPs. ([#121008](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/121008), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship)) [SIG Network]

- For GCE cluster provider, fix bug of not being able to create internal type load balancer for clusters with more than 1000 nodes in a single zone. ([#89902](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/89902), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t)) [SIG Cloud Provider, Network and Scalability]

    * plus is placed in a defer call so the locking is effectively
    * nonexistent.  This patch adds an anonymous function call inside
