Previously, when unschedulable Pods are updated, the scheduler always put Pods back to activeQ/backoffQ. But, actually not all updates to Pods make Pods schedulable, especially considering many scheduling constraints nowadays are immutable.

    string.getChars(0, len, strCopy, 0);

    char[] array = new char[len * count];

    int strCopyLen = len;
    int pos = 0;
    while (count != 0) {
      if ((count & 1) != 0) {
        System.arraycopy(strCopy, 0, array, pos, strCopyLen);
        pos += strCopyLen;
      }
      count >>= 1;
      if (count != 0) {
        System.arraycopy(strCopy, 0, strCopy, strCopyLen, strCopyLen);

- Kubelet: close a loophole where static pods could reference arbitrary ResourceClaims. The pods created by the kubelet then don't run due to a sanity check, but such references shouldn't be allowed regardless.

  Similarly you can also access  kubelet's `/pods` endpoint to fetch a list of Pods bound to that node by granting the caller `nodes/pods` permission in RBAC.
  Similarly you can also access kubelet's `/configz` endpoint to fetch kubelet's configuration by granting the caller `nodes/configz` permission in RBAC.

ernetes.io`, deprecated since v1.19, was partially removed. Kubelets no longer support the annotations, use of the annotations in static pods is no longer supported, and the seccomp annotations are no longer auto-populated when pods with seccomp fields are created. Auto-population of the seccomp fields from the annotations is planned to be removed in 1.27. Pods  should use the corresponding pod or container `securityContext.seccompProfile` field instead.

- Fix a bug that Pods could stuck in the unschedulable pod pool 
  if they're rejected by PreEnqueue plugins that could change its result by a change in resources apart from Pods.
  
  DRA plugin is the only plugin that meets the criteria of the bug in in-tree, 
  and hence if you have `DynamicResourceAllocation` feature flag enabled, 

  - Remove redundant log lines and reduce severity around parsing kubeEnv
  - Don't treat nodes created by virtual kubelet as nodes from non-autoscaled node groups
  - Remove redundant logging around calculating node utilization
  - Add configurable `--network` and `--rm` flags for docker in `Makefile`

* StatefulSets now include an alpha scaling feature accessible by setting the `spec.podManagementPolicy` field to `Parallel`.  The controller will not wait for pods to be ready before adding the other pods, and will replace deleted pods as needed.  Since parallel scaling creates pods out of order, you cannot depend on predictable membership changes within your set.
