- Scheduler's CycleState now embeds internal read/write locking inside its `Read()` and `Write()` functions. Meanwhile, `Lock()` and `Unlock()` function are removed. Scheduler plugin developers are now required to remove `CycleState#Lock()` and `CycleState#Unlock()`. Just simply use `Read()` and `Write()` as they're natively thread-safe now.

* Image GC logic should compensate for reserved blocks ([#27996](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/27996), [@ronnielai](https://github.com/ronnielai))

          <description>
            The relative path of the parent subproject POM file or directory within the checkout.
            If not specified, it defaults to {@code ..}, i.e. the parent directory.
            Maven looks for the parent POM first in this location on
            the filesystem if explicitly provided, then in the reactor if groupId and artifactId are provided,

This release also removes `graphene` as an optional dependency for GraphQL. If you need to work with GraphQL, the recommended library now is [Strawberry](https://strawberry.rocks/). You can read the new [FastAPI with GraphQL docs](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/advanced/graphql/).

	request, err = newTestSignedRequest(http.MethodGet, getGetObjectURL(s.endPoint, bucketName, objectName),
		0, nil, s.accessKey, s.secretKey, s.signer)
	c.Assert(err, nil)
	// This range spans into first two blocks.
	request.Header.Set("Range", "bytes=10485750-10485769")

	// execute the HTTP request.
	response, err = s.client.Do(request)
	c.Assert(err, nil)

- Graduate JobPodFailurePolicy to GA and lock ([#125442](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/125442), [@mimowo](https://github.com/mimowo)) [SIG API Machinery, Apps, Scheduling and Testing]

    * inside of which a write lock was intended to prevent races against
    * VM creation, but the usage of the sync.RWMutex type is incorrect,
    * plus is placed in a defer call so the locking is effectively
    * nonexistent.  This patch adds an anonymous function call inside
    * the loop to correctly handle acquiring the write lock with deferred

- XFS-filesystems are now force-formatted (option `-f`) in order to avoid problems being formatted due to detection of magic super-blocks. This aligns with the behaviour of formatting of ext3/4 filesystems. ([#104923](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/104923), [@davidkarlsen](https://github.com/davidkarlsen))
