Answer
Cascade evictions are avoided by feasibility checks, retry limits, and controlled preemption.
Quick Answer
Preemption toxicity is when preempting lower-priority Pods to make room for a high-priority Pod causes so many Pod disruptions that the cluster destabilizes. Kubernetes mitigates this with PDB (prevents preempting too many replicas), a minimum preemption threshold, and grace periods — preemption is tried only after no available node is found.
