### Failing Test

- Fixes hostpath storage e2e tests within SELinux enabled env (#105787, @Elbehery) [SIG Testing]

### Bug or Regression

- Fix: After a Node is down and take some time to get back to up again, the mount point of the evicted Pods cannot be cleaned up successfully. (#111933) Meanwhile Kubelet will print the log `Orphaned pod "xxx" found, but error not a directory occurred when trying to remove the volumes dir` every 2 seconds.

### Bug or Regression

- Fixes a regression introduced in 1.29 where conntrack entries for UDP connections
  to deleted pods did not get cleaned up correctly, which could (among other things)
  cause DNS problems when DNS pods were restarted. ([#127807](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/127807), [@danwinship](https://github.com/danwinship)) [SIG Network]

- When scaling down a ReplicaSet, delete doubled up replicas first, where a "doubled up replica" is defined as one that is on the same node as an active replica belonging to a related ReplicaSet.  ReplicaSets are considered "related" if they have a common controller (typically a Deployment). ([#80004](https://github....
