A method and circuit for eliminating silent store invalidation propagation in shared memory cache coherency protocols, and a design structure on which the subject circuit resides are provided. A received data value is compared with a stored cache data value. When the received data value matches the stored cache data value, a first squash signal is generated. A received write address is compared with a reservation address. When the received write address matches the reservation address, a reservation signal is generated and inverted. The first squash signal and the inverted reservation signal are combined to selectively produce a silent store squash signal. The silent store squash signal cancels sending an invalidation signal.
