It is safe and the cache is immediately rebuilt. You will see
'space_cache,clear_cache' as mount options, which is normal and you
can ignore. I just tried this with a remount and I get the expected
messaging.

[  400.465624] BTRFS info (device sda7): force clearing of disk cache
[  400.465639] BTRFS info (device sda7): disk space caching is enabled

Hi,
is it safe (has it an effect?) to use the 'clear_cache' option in a
'mount -o remount'? I recognize messages in my kernel log regarding
'BTRFS info (device dm-7): The free space cache file (31215079915520)
is invalid. skip it'. I would like to fix it and would do it (in best
case) without rebooting.
Bye
