### Scheduling

- Improved fairness of the scheduling queue by placing pods which are attempted recently behind other pods with the same priority. ([#73700](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/73700), [@denkensk](https://github.com/denkensk))

* Change default value of deleting-pods-burst to 1 ([#27606](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/27606), [@gmarek](https://github.com/gmarek))
* MESOS: fix race condition in contrib/mesos/pkg/queue/delay ([#24916](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/24916), [@jdef](https://github.com/jdef))

- Added a `Processing` condition for the `workqueue` API.
  Changed `Shutdown` for the `workqueue` API to wait until the work queue finishes processing all in-flight items. ([#101928](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101928), [@alexanderConstantinescu](https://github.com/alexanderConstantinescu))

* Making DHCP_OPTION_SET_ID creation optional ([#27278](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/27278), [@activars](https://github.com/activars))
* Convert service account token controller to use a work queue ([#23858](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/23858), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

- Refactor scheduler's framework permit API. ([#83756](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83756), [@hex108](https://github.com/hex108))
- Add incoming pods metrics to scheduler queue. ([#83577](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83577), [@liu-cong](https://github.com/liu-cong))

- Add a deprecated cmd flag for the time interval between flushing pods from unschedulable queue to active queue or backoff queue. ([#108017](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/108017), [@denkensk](https://github.com/denkensk))

* scheduler: use incremental scheduling cycle in PriorityQueue to put all in-flight unschedulable pods back to active queue if we received move request ([#73309](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/73309), [@cofyc](https://github.com/cofyc))

- Kube-proxy exposes a new metric, `kubeproxy_sync_proxy_rules_last_queued_timestamp_seconds`, that indicates the last time a change for kube-proxy was queued to be applied.
