* Fix a race condition in the scheduler preemption logic that could cause nominatedNodeName of a pod not to be considered in one or more scheduling cycles. ([#72504](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72504), [@bsalamat](https://github.com/bsalamat))

* Fix race causing apiserver crashes during etcd healthchecking ([#60069](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/60069), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t))
* Increase allowed lag for ssh key sync loop in tunneler to allow for one failure ([#60068](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/60068), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t))

  // container crashes or exits. The Pod's termination grace period countdown begins before the
  // PreStop hook is executed. Regardless of the outcome of the handler, the
  // container will eventually terminate within the Pod's termination grace
  // period (unless delayed by finalizers). Other management of the container blocks until the hook completes
  // or until the termination grace period is reached.

    happened enough then eventually the connection would stall.

 *  Fix: Acknowledge and apply inbound HTTP/2 settings atomically. Previously we had a race where we
    could use new flow control capacity before acknowledging it, causing strict HTTP/2 servers to
    fail the call.

 *  Fix: Recover gracefully when a coalesced connection immediately goes unhealthy.

* Increase Azure default maximumLoadBalancerRuleCount to 250. ([#72621](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/72621), [@feiskyer](https://github.com/feiskyer))
* fix race condition issue for smb mount on windows ([#75371](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/75371), [@andyzhangx](https://github.com/andyzhangx))

   * create a directory, not a regular file. A common pitfall is to call {@code createTempFile},
   * delete the file and create a directory in its place, but this leads a race condition which can
   * be exploited to create security vulnerabilities, especially when executable files are to be
   * written into the directory.
