- Fixed a bug in the scheduler where it would crash when prefilter returns a non-existent node. ([#124933](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/124933), [@AxeZhan](https://github.com/AxeZhan)) [SIG Scheduling and Testing]
- Fixed a bug that Pods could stuck in the unschedulable pod pool 
  if they're rejected by PreEnqueue plugins that could change its result by a change in resources apart from Pods.
