  Fixed multiple iptables proxy regressions introduced in 1.22:

- Kube-scheduler: fixes a 1.30 regression that can lead to a scheduler crash when processing pods with affinity that doesn't match a real/valid node ([#125039](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125039), [@AxeZhan](https://github.com/AxeZhan)) [SIG Scheduling and Testing]

- Added feature support to Windows for configuring session affinity of Kubernetes services.

- Kube-scheduler: fixes a 1.27.14 regression that can lead to a scheduler crash when processing pods with affinity that doesn't match a real/valid node ([#125043](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125043), [@AxeZhan](https://github.com/AxeZhan)) [SIG Scheduling and Testing]

## Dependencies

### Added

- CRI: Added a field to support CPU affinity on Windows. ([#124285](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124285), [@kiashok](https://github.com/kiashok)) [SIG Node and Windows]

- The Kubernetes API server merged selectors built from `matchLabelKeys` into the `labelSelector` of `topologySpreadConstraints`, aligning Pod Topology Spread behavior with Inter-Pod Affinity. To prevent breaking existing Pods using `matchLabelKeys`, this scheduler behavior was preserved until v1.34. Upgrades from v1.32 to v1.34 should be done incrementally (v1.32 → v1.33 → v1.34), ensuring Pods created at v1.32 with `matchLabelKeys`...

- Kubelet: Fix fs quota monitoring on volumes ([#116794](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/116794), [@pacoxu](https://github.com/pacoxu)) [SIG Storage]

### Other (Cleanup or Flake)

- New default scheduling plugins order reduces scheduling and preemption latency when taints and node affinity are used ([#95539](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/95539), [@soulxu](https://github.com/soulxu)) [SIG Scheduling]
