Hi,
Could you please let us know when are we going to get release for build number 1.27.2/1.25.5 ?
We are looking for following fix(PR #7129). Release1.27.1 and 1.25.4 does not have the following fix. We are running to crio panic with double close of channel when we delete a deployment and crio's container stop function goes into retry.

oci: simplify stopping code

Before, there was the possibility load could cause cri-o to segfault from double closing of channels.

this PR aims to simplify container stop code while retaining the required behavior.

Now, the first stop begins a registration process where the container stop begins and new timeouts
come in to interrupt. There are two commuincation channels, and only one location where they can be closed.
This also adds a watcher mechanism so callers can wait on the container stop
