### Bug or Regression

- Fix a bug when the hostname label of a node does not match the node name, pods bound to a PV with nodeAffinity using the hostname may be scheduled to the wrong node or experience scheduling failures. ([#127585](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127585), [@AxeZhan](https://github.com/AxeZhan)) [SIG Scheduling and Storage]

  * The available capacity of a given Persistent Volume (PV) is available by calling the Kubernetes metrics API.

* [stable] Volume plugin metrics

  * Success and latency metrics for all Kubernetes calls are available by calling the Kubernetes metrics API. You can request volume operations, including mount, unmount, attach, detach, provision, and delete.

- Reduced get PV request from KCM pv-controller for CSI volumes ([#134290](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/134290), [@huww98](https://github.com/huww98)) [SIG Apps and Storage]

- Added a test to guarantee that conformance clusters require at least 2 untainted nodes. ([#106313](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/106313), [@aojea](https://github.com/aojea))
- Adds PV deletion protection finalizer only when PV reclaimPolicy is Delete for dynamically provisioned volumes. ([#109205](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/109205), [@deepakkinni](https://github.com/deepakkinni))

* PVC may not be synced to controller local cache in time if PV is bound by external PV binder (e.g. kube-scheduler), double check if PVC is not found to prevent reclaiming PV wrongly. ([#67062](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/67062), [@cofyc](https://github.com/cofyc))

* Fix hyperkube kubelet --experimental-dockershim ([#55335](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55335), [@ivan4th](https://github.com/ivan4th))
* fix azure pv crash due to volumeSource.ReadOnly value nil ([#54607](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/54607), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))

- Improve speed of vSphere PV provisioning and reduce number of API calls ([#102351](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/102351), [@gnufied](https://github.com/gnufied)) [SIG Cloud Provider and Storage]

  
  With this patch, the external provisioner can remove the finalizer in next reconcile loop. Unfortunately if the provious existing pv has the Failed state, this patch won't take effort. It requires users to remove finalizer. ([#126045](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/126045), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory)) [SIG Apps and Storage]

- When creating a PVC with the volume.beta.kubernetes.io/storage-provisioner annotation already set, the PV controller might have incorrectly deleted the newly provisioned PV instead of binding it to the PVC, depending on timing and system load. ([#95909](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/95909), [@pohly](https://github.com/pohly)) [SIG Apps and Storage]
