- Kubelet: improve the performance when waiting for a synchronization of the node list with the kube-apiserver ([#99336](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/99336), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123)) [SIG Node]

- Fix clearing of rate-limiter for the queue of checks for cleaning stale pod disruption conditions. 
  The bug could result in the PDB synchronization updates firing too often or the pod disruption cleanups taking too long to happen. ([#114780](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/114780), [@mimowo](https://github.com/mimowo)) [SIG Apps]

and calls to the built-in functions
<a href="#Length_and_capacity"><code>cap</code></a> and
<a href="#Length_and_capacity"><code>len</code></a>
by any number of goroutines without further synchronization.
