shared memory is not a very malleable resource. you can't just arbitrarily
increase the size of it like you can with heap memory.
But running 250 JACK clients is not a viable workflow either. It doesn't
scale in that way unless you're not interested in latency, in which case
use PulseAudio.

Hello,
I've found a piece of code that can be responsible for this:
#define MAX_SHM_ID 256
This is used to determine size of the registry.
What is rationale for hardcoding this like this?

Hello,
at some point I am getting the following errors from JACK
Jun 9 11:57:19 001-can1-plumber jackd[21110]: shm registry full
Jun 9 11:57:19 001-can1-plumber jackd[21110]: Cannot create shared
memory segment of size = 422
Jun 9 11:57:19 001-can1-plumber jackd[21110]: JackShmMem::new bad alloc
Jun 9 11:57:19 001-can1-plumber jackd[21110]: Cannot open client
Jun 9 11:57:19 001-can1-plumber jackd[21110]: Cannot create new client
Max locked memory for this process is set to 134217728 while launching
JACK via systemd.
It effectively causes JACK to hang.
I am using 1.9.10 (commit 1ed50c92) on ubuntu 16.04.
The configure flags are --clients=500 --ports-per-application=4 (I am not
reaching 500 clients limit when that occurs, they are around 250).
JACK is started with dummy driver, and --port-max set to 2000.
What is the reason for hitting SHM limit? Can I overcome this in any way?
m.
