:Which macro/function can I used to replace "dtom"?

:best regards
It doesn't exist any more. dtom() used to convert a data pointer
to an mbuf pointer. This was possible only as an artifact of the
original mbuf allocator implementation. The macro was massively misused
all over.
When I rewrote that mbuf API last year I got rid of it. There is
in fact, *NO* easy way to convert a data pointer to its related mbuf
(nor would you want to). Instead, all related code simply tracks the
actual mbuf pointer (which is what it should have done in the first
place).
