Thank you Joseph for your answer. I guess I should test the 4.1 kernel
which can be found at the link you provided. I'll do this next Monday,
just keep in mind that, being the problem apparently random, one should
wait some time before drawing conclusions (I'll say one month without
hangs, doing snapshots every night, to be sufficiently sure).

Title:
  System hangs apparently randomly when creating LVM snapshots

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  We have several servers here which mount Ubuntu LTS Trusty Tahr 14.04. We use LVM snapshots to do backups during the night. Randomly (witha rate of 1 event every 10-12 days) the LVM snapshot creation runs in some problem. The server hangs and it must be rebooted hardly. No shell, no even any screen output, just a black screen, no ping, nothing. And Magic SysRq key doesn't help.
  No logs are written either (I also tried redirect logs to another machine, just in case). This happens with different hardware, and different backup software. The only constant is LVM snapshots. Kernel is 3.13.0-49. We tried the 14.10 kernel (3.16.0-34), we had the same hangs, but this time we had something logged:
