- DRA: Device taints enable DRA drivers or admins to mark device as unusable, which prevents allocating them. Pods may also get evicted at runtime if a device becomes unusable, depending on the severity of the taint and whether the claim tolerates the taint. ([#130447](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/130447),...

- Added driver-owned fields in `ResourceSlice` to mark whether the device was shareable among multiple resource claims (or requests) and to specify how each capacity could be shared between different requests.
