In case of hardware PMDs (which may take a longer duration for processing the packets), there may be a case when the number of enqueued packets are more than the dequeued.
So if the difference is more than 8 times the burst size, more dequeue operations should be performed otherwise all the buffers will be blocked in hardware.
