Do you mean the case you marked XXX ? it is actually parent that is
red, which we know because we tested that a few lines earlier.

I like these diagrams - I initially didn't think they'd work well, given the need for colors etc, but I now see that it's workable.

In __rb_erase_color(), some of the cases are more complicated than you drew however, because some node colors aren't known.
This is what I ended up with:

  *  5), then the longest possible path due to 4 is 2B.
  *
  *  We shall indicate color with case, where black nodes are uppercase and red
- *  nodes will be lowercase.
+ *  nodes will be lowercase. Unknown color nodes shall be drawn as red with
+ *  some accompanying text comment.
