A microprocessor includes a cache memory, a store queue, and a load/store unit. Each entry of the store queue holds store data associated with a store instruction. The load/store unit, during execution of a load instruction, makes a determination that an entry of the store queue holds store data that includes some but not all bytes of load data requested by the load instruction, cancels execution of the load instruction in response to the determination, and writes to an entry of a structure from which the load instruction is subsequently issuable for re-execution an identifier of a store instruction that is older in program order than the load instruction and an indication that the load instruction is not eligible to re-execute until the identified older store instruction updates the cache memory with store data.
