* [stable] Mount options

  * The ability to specify mount options for volumes is moved from beta to stable.

  * A new `MountOptions` field in the `PersistentVolume` spec is available to specify mount options. This field replaces an annotation.

  * A new `MountOptions` field in the `StorageClass` spec allows configuration of mount options for dynamically provisioned volumes.

*   You can now create Windows mount paths  ([#51240](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/51240),[ @andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))
*   Fixed a controller manager crash issue on a manually created k8s cluster. ([#53694](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/53694),[ @andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))

* Fixes issue where subpath volume content was deleted during orphaned pod cleanup for Local volumes that are directories (and not mount points) on the root filesystem. ([#72291](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72291), [@msau42](https://github.com/msau42))

- For CSI drivers, kubelet no longer creates the target_path for NodePublishVolume in accordance with the CSI spec. Kubelet also no longer checks if staging and target paths are mounts or corrupted. CSI drivers need to be idempotent and do any necessary mount verification. ([#88759](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88759), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx)) [SIG Storage]

"description": "RecursiveReadOnly specifies whether read-only mounts should be handled recursively.\n\nIf ReadOnly is false, this field has no meaning and must be unspecified.\n\nIf ReadOnly is true, and this field is set to Disabled, the mount is not made recursively read-only.  If this field is set to IfPossible, the mount is made recursively read-only, if it is supported by the container runtime.  If this field is set to Enabled, the mount is made recursively read-only if it is supported by the container...

- Faster mount detection for linux kernel 5.10+ using openat2 speeding up pod churn rates. On Kernel versions less 5.10, it will fallback to using the original way of detecting mount points i.e by parsing /proc/mounts. ([#109217](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/109217), [@manugupt1](https://github.com/manugupt1))

### StatefulSet

* Fix zone placement heuristics so that multiple mounts in a StatefulSet pod are created in the same zone ([#40910](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/40910), [@justinsb](https://github.com/justinsb))

- Fix: azure file mount timeout issue ([#88610](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88610), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx)) [SIG Cloud Provider and Storage]
- Fix: corrupted mount point in csi driver ([#88569](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/88569), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx)) [SIG Storage]
