Subject: removing a bonding_master (ver 3.3.0 driver) results in leftover 
	kernel process?

using bonding driver ver 3.3.0 (on fedora 10)

I am using the sysfs  to add a couple of interfaces as bonding_masters
and repeatedly removing and adding  during test cycles as in:

echo +bond_data > /sys/class/net/bonding_masters
..add slave eth ports..
...do work...
......
echo -bond_data > /sys/class/net/bonding_masters

every time I add it, seems to start a kernel process named after that
bond interface
but when removing, that proc is not killed.

it builds up after a period of testing and even kill -9/kill -15 isnt
killing them

Am I doing something wrong ? Can I prevent the buildup of these unwanted
processes that are presumably consuming resources ?
