- Removed a warning related to Linux user namespaces and kernel version. Previously, if the feature gate `UserNamespacesSupport` was enabled, the kubelet warned when detecting a Linux kernel version earlier than 6.3.0. While user namespace support generally requires kernel 6.3 or newer, it can also work on older kernels.

- `kubeadm`: now shows a warning message when detecting that the sandbox image of the container runtime is inconsistent with that used by kubeadm ([#115610](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115610), [@SataQiu](https://github.com/SataQiu))

- Added `kubelet` stress test for pod cleanup when rejection due to `VolumeAttachmentLimitExceeded`. ([#133357](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/133357), [@torredil](https://github.com/torredil)) [SIG Node and Storage]

Such an empty list is equivalent to the textual substitution of the
first preceding non-empty expression list and its type if any.
Omitting the list of expressions is therefore equivalent to
repeating the previous list.  The number of identifiers must be equal
to the number of expressions in the previous list.
Together with the <a href="#Iota"><code>iota</code> constant generator</a>

- A pod that the Kubelet rejects was still considered as being accepted for a brief period of time after rejection, which might cause some pods to be rejected briefly that could fit on the node.  A pod that is still terminating (but has status indicating it has failed) may also still be consuming resources and so should also be considered. ([#104817](https:/...

* kubelet: resolved hang/timeout issues when running large numbers of pods with unique configmap/secret references by reverting to 1.11 configmap/secret lookup behavior ([#74755](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74755), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

- Fixed bug where explain was not properly respecting jsonpaths. ([#115694](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115694), [@mpuckett159](https://github.com/mpuckett159))

### 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. ([#96863](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96863), [@tosi3k](https://github.com/tosi3k)) [SIG Apps, Cloud Provider and Network]

* **[beta]** Added support for mount options in persistent volumes.
* **[alpha]** All in one volume proposal - a new volume driver capable of projecting secrets, configmaps, and downward API items into the same directory.
